Clauses treated like nominals in Danish #14

Open jnivre opened 8 years ago

jnivre commented 8 years ago

The Danish treebank has a number of cases, where a nominal type label is used instead of the corresponding clausal label. For example:

At rende/nsubj med aviser som bibeskæftigelse kunne vara lykken/root, hvis an også fik/advmod en rimelig løn ud af det

Here "rende" should be "csubj" instead of "nsubj", and "fik" should be "advcl" instead of "advmod". This appears to be quite common and needs to be checked.

Possibly related, I also noted copula clauses treated as nominal modfiers, as in:

Foruden at være et tilløbsstykke/nmod [...] er Robinson Crusoe et paradis/root for dem

I guess tilløbsstykke should be advcl.

Here are more examples from UD_Danish (sentence numbers start at 1 in the training set):

6: amod -> xcomp ("betragtes som ...") 17: dobj -> xcomp (infinitive) 19: blive + nmod -> xcomp 19: advmod -> advcl

More examples:

25: dobj -> ccomp 27: dobj -> xcomp 49: amod -> xcomp

I have changed the milestone to v2 for this one, but I would be happy to know that someone in the UD_Danish team is actively working on these issues. My impression is that Anders is not active anymore. Who else should we assign?
