<DIV><FONT size=2>Dear lexicographers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>is there anyone who has some experience in Chinese measure
words or in measure words in any other kind of language? Could you give me some
advice about preparing a dictionary of measure words? Could you suggest some
good dictionary to take as an example (I am going to write a
Chinese-Italian dictionary of measure words)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thank you</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><TT><BR>You could try entering the double vowel combinations
into the sort order,<BR>as a different character than the single vowels, but
this may not help. I<BR>don't think there is any way if single vowels are
valid characters,<BR>to tell Toolbox never to interpret two vowels together as
two single<BR>vowels rather than one double vowel.<BR><BR>Although I would
think if all the morphemes were in the lexicon, this<BR>wouldn't be such a
problem. Since Toolbox should prefer parses with fewer<BR>morphemes, this
would favor matches with double vowel morphemes rather than<BR>splitting the
double vowel in two.<BR><BR><BR>Steve White, Jaars language software
