The processing of "zero words" is handled by a special file in MOR called zero.cut. That file includes forms such as 0n or 0prep which produce 0n|n and 0prep|prep as their output on the %mor line, as well as more specific words such as 0animal which will produced 0n|animal. I have never been totally happy about the inclusion of words of the latter type, but some researchers think it important to mark this, so we have allowed this. </div><div> In any case, if your form was actually 0thing, then that file converted it to 0n|thing on the %mor line. If it was 0things, then it should have entered ?|0things, which is definitely not what you want. If you just want to mark a "nothing", then just enter 0 by itself and MOR will exclude that.</div><div> I should add, not so much for you but for other readers, that, although these zero forms will get entered into the %mor line, they will not get counted by MLU.</div><div><br></div><div>--Brian</div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 17, 2012, at 1:37 PM, Leonid Spektor wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Mark,<div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I have just added item "0things;" that is giving you problems, to my test file and mor +xl command did not output it. My best guess is that there is something else in your data file that is creating this problem. Also, make sure that you have the latest CLAN and MOR grammar. It would be very helpful if you could email the data file that gives you wrong result directly to me. <br><div>

Specifically, when I run <i>mor +xl</i> on my corpus, one of the items it outputs is <i>0things</i>; this is something I added to help with the parsing. For the life of me, I can't work out why it is doing this. It can't be because it doesn't recognise <i>things</i>, because that is fine when I remove the <i>0</i>; and it can't be the <i>0</i>, because it treats that as fine when used elsewhere in the corpus.
