Multiple Elaborators and nesting #6

Closed nschneid closed 6 years ago

nschneid commented 6 years ago

We're confused about whether multiple layers of nested non-scene units are permissible with elaborators like possessives. With certain compound nominals it feels tempting to have a unit with one or more elaborators that is further elaborated in a parent unit, but perhaps this is a bad idea.

Should chains of multiple C edges always be forbidden? I guess alternatives to the above are:

[my_S+A (engine)_A]_E [broken_S (engine)_A]_E car_E engine (all E relations are sisters)

[my_S+A (cone)_A]_E [ice cream]_E cone_C

We would annotate it the "alternatives" you mentioned. I should say that chains of Cs are not always forbidden but only if a Center has exactly one Center child. (i.e., it can have more children, but none of the others should be C).

OK, so would "the open restaurant bathroom window" (assuming the window is open) be

the_E [open_S (window)_A]_E [restaurant_E bathroom_C]_E window_C

?

Exactly
