usage: xml2slashtags.py [-h] [-s SPEAKER] [-l X] [-m MAPPING_FILE]
filenames [filenames ...]
Convert an XML Talbank file to slash/tag format in an alternate tagset.
positional arguments:
filenames Talbank XML files.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-s SPEAKER, --speaker SPEAKER
Filter output to utterances by SPEAKER
-l X, --label-speakers X

-m MAPPING_FILE, --mapping-file MAPPING_FILE
A two-column csv file specifying the mappings between
the MOR and the target tagset. defaults to
/path/to/script/dir/mor-to-larc-mapping.csv
The mapping csv file is in the following format:
MOR-PATTERN, NEWTAG
where NEWTAG is the user-defined target tag to translate to, and MOR-PATTERN is
in the following format:
pos:feature&fusion-suffix|wordform
this mostly comes from the notation in cha files. the operators :, &, - and |
bind to the text following them, and all except for pos and |wordform may occur
multiple times. pos _must_ be specified. ordering is arbitrary for all but pos,
which must occur first.
examples of MOR-PATTERNS:
adj - matches all words tagged as adjectives.
v:cop&PAST&13S - matches words tagged as past tense, first/third person copular
verbs.
aux|be - matches all words with stem "be" tagged as aux.
TODO:
- allow MOR-PATTERNS lacking a pos component
- add syntax for matching literal words
