Nounification: 'fix' word #38

Closed yhamoudi closed 9 years ago

yhamoudi commented 9 years ago

Problem with fix verb: how to fix a car. >> preparation

I'm not sure what is the best noun.

Ezibenroc commented 9 years ago

Reparation maybe?

Ezibenroc commented 9 years ago

Or "fix", which is closer to the original word.

yhamoudi commented 9 years ago

i'm not sure the noun "fix" has the sense we want, perhaps "reparation" or "repair" (repair seems to be more used than reparation)

i'm still a bit embarrassed by the nounification. We transform verbs into nouns without looking at the whole sentence. We lose the context, but a lot of verbs are polysemous.

Is there any technic to perform nounification using all the sentence (e.g. the lexical field of the sentence should enable us to fix a lot of ambiguous cases)?

This seems complicated... If we want to fix a program we have to apply a fix, whereas if we want to fix a car we have to apply a reparation. -> It would require a giant map with two entries: one for the verb we want to nounify, one for the subject and/or the object.
