%gra and %mor tiers

[Leonid Spektor]

Hi Simge,

You can use this command to make sure that only word “and” is found:

combo +d7 +sg|SUBJ^m;and^g|COORD

But as you will notice, there are things this code doesn't get. For example, I am only interested in and, but this code finds other conjunctions like or as well. I tried to incorporate this information into the code using the %mor tier (coord|and), but I think I made a mistake because I got a blank output. Also, while I can make this code work for subjects and objects, I don't know how I will extract cases of VP-level conjunction, because the heads of the conjoined phrases (the verbs) will not necessarily be adjacent.
