[CWB] Regular expressions with word groups

["Andrés Chandía"]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I understand that you want nothing from the ! on....


check this regex from the manual:


       [(lemma="go")           &       
   !(word="went"%c           |           word="gone"%c)];




I hope it is what you're looking for, if so, it is just a thing of notation....

Thanks Andrews and/or Andreses for your quick responses,
     

I have had problems with both of our suggestions. In principle I       would like to use a
single ! operator for the whole regular       expression pattern rather than having to add it
to every relevant       subpattern. 
     

But wherever I place the '!' i don't seem to get the desired       results. So, if I do the
following:

[(word="f[ei]rid.*")|(word="muert[ao].*")] !(([(pos="S.*")
&
(word="d.*")][word=".*el"][word="ca[buv]allo.*"])|[word="entierra"]|([word="en"][word="tierra"]))

one of the first hits I get is:
     

 cayo  muerto  en tierra

This should be out because the last of the word groups that I       have is
([word="en"][word="tierra"]). Shouldn't the ! operator       have scope
over the last group as well?

Hey Josep,


       
I'm fairly sure you just use ! if you're not         testing a specific
annotation. Place ! before the left         parenthesis of the group you're trying to test. So
if you're         trying to test the negation of that entire group, just add ! to         the
front of it. See 2.6 in the CQP Tutorial.

       
All the best,

       
Andrew

Hi,
             
             I don't know whether this is
the right forum to ask this             particular kind 
             of question but I
figure there are enough people here with             sufficient 
             experience
to lend me a hand with this problem. If you             cannot answer the 
            
question but you can point me to some other forum/group             where I can find 
   
         help, I would appreciate it.
             
             So, I have the
following regular expression to identify a             set of 
             expressions
that can appear in a particular position in the             text. What I 
            
would like to do is to create the negation of this regular             expression. 
     
       That is, any string/expression/group of expressions that             does NOT 
   
         contain the expressions in these groups.
             
             I know
how to use the != operator for a particular item             (word, pos, 
            
lemma) but where would one insert this operator to have             scope over the 
     
       whole group of expressions that match this pattern? Thanks             in advance.
             
             (([(pos="S.*") & 

(word="d.*")][word=".*el"][word="ca[buv]allo.*"])|[word="entierra"]|([word="en"][word="tierra"]))
