be/VERB is suspect #404

Closed nschneid closed 11 months ago

Many of these look like they should be AUX, stranded due to ellipsis (cf. #403).

@amir-zeldes If "there is..." should stay VERB, what about "there seems to be"?

nschneid commented 1 year ago

Used the following DepEdit script:

; AUX for "be" (excl. "there is", "there seems to be")
lemma=/be/&upos=/VERB/;xpos=/EX/    #1>#2   #1:storage=has_expl
lemma=/be/&upos=/VERB/&func=/xcomp/;xpos=/EX/;func=/.*/ #3>#1;#3>#2 #1:storage=has_expl
lemma=/be/&upos=/VERB/&storage!=/has_expl/  none    #1:upos=AUX

Related: "do", "have" VERB->AUX #403

A few more where the tag doesn't match the tree (excepting tag questions)—AUX should be VERB for existential, or copula is incorrectly promoted: https://universal.grew.fr/?custom=64bca7e416fb4

@amir-zeldes Does the above (extending to existentials in an xcomp) look OK?

LGTM, incorporating into GUM
