[CWB] Sketch Grammars and macros

[Hardie, Andrew]

Hi Aleks,

Yes, and it’s the same way – see http://cwb.sourceforge.net/files/CQP_Tutorial/node25.html

though you mind find it easier to use, e.g. node: coll: than numbers.

Or, alternative, you can use the target / keyword anchor points. http://cwb.sourceforge.net/files/CQP_Tutorial/node19.html

By the way, syntactic collocates is something I’ve wanted to add to CQPweb for a while. I have put it on hold for the moment because it will be easier with the Ziggurat engine available because then dependency parser output will be indexable.

best

Andrew.

Dear all,

I've been trying to create a macro that can classify collocates in terms of their syntactic functions (i.e. subject, direct, indirect object) - something similar to WordSketch in SE. SE uses numbers to mark specific functions.

In the following example "2:" indicates that the final noun in this query serves as the head of the object noun phrase.

1:"VB.?" [tag="DT|PRP$"]{0,1} "JJ.?"{0,3} "NN.*"{0,2} 2:"NN.*"





Here is another example with an explanation from SE.

 2:"NN.*" [tag="RB"|tag="VM"]{0,4} [lempos="be-v"] 1:"VBN"



Here the verb in the passive construction (that is, a past participle following the verb “be”) is again marked as the keyword

with the prefix “1:”. The subject is marked with the prefix “2:” and is  thus taken to be the underlying object of the verb. Between the subject  and the verb “be” we allow the possibility of a string of adverbs (“RB”)  and/or modal verbs (“VM”).



Is there a way in CQP macros to mark similar function - for example a noun as a head of an object noun phrase?



Thanks for help!



Aleks
