If they arise in V+V constructions, as in "debo salir", this is pretty easy, but when they involve “que” things get trickier linguistically, because I assume you don’t want to throw out all predicate complement constructions. In English, this gets solved a bit by the historical process that is merging “to” with the model as in “hafta” for “have~to”. There is a short list of these in the English MOR <br> Based on this analysis, I could modify Spanish MOR. Then I would also need to revise the training set to retrain the POST tagger. I could possibly do this, once it is clear how to count what. <br> <br>— Brian MacWhinney <br>Teresa Heinz Professor of Cognitive Psychology, <br>Language Technologies and Modern Languages, CMU <br> <br> <br> <br><blockquote type="cite">On Jul 30, 2021, at 8:00 AM, Macarena Quiroga <macarenasolquiroga@gmail.com> wrote: <br> <br>Hi everyone, <br>I want to run a freq analysis to count verb types and tokens, but I need to exclude those cases when the verb is a part of a periphrasis (for example: "debo salir" o "tengo que salir", which translates to "I must leave" or "I have to leave"). In those cases, I want to count the infinitive as a verb (salir), and don't count the modal verb (debo, tengo que). MOR doesn't seem to recognize modal verbs in Spanish and I wasn't able to create a v-mod.cut file by hand. <br>A colleague suggested I use combo to find verb+verb or verb+preposition combinations, and then modify their respectives mor lines by hand, but I was wondering if you knew a way to automatize this, because it's a very big corpus. <br>Thank you so much for your time. <br> <br>-- <br>Macarena Sol Quiroga <br>Lic. y Prof. en Enseñanza Media y Superior en Letras (UBA) <br>Instituto de Educación (UNaHur) <br>CIIPME - CONICET <br> <br> <br>-- <br>You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "chibolts" group. <br>To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to chibolts+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. <br>To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/chibolts/CANcNhDbMoYD9t89bXfb4MhTjwVcQZK4AwWmP-JraXy8eQO8tvQ%40mail.gmail.com. <br></blockquote> <br>-- <br>You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "chibolts" group. <br>To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to chibolts+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. <br>To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/chibolts/7287A20A-8A60-4EDB-8209-59696458B8D0%40andrew.cmu.edu. <br></div> </div> </blockquote> </body></html>
