Annotation errors for relative clauses

[xiulinyang]

(Sorry, I opened the issue in the wrong repository earlier before.) The following sentences should not be taken as relative clauses or the acl:relcl is assigned to the wrong token.

• Who 's the party being s- served ?
• Runs batted in 171
• Unique tree carvings done by the peaceful Moriori people hundreds of years ago
• After the exchange of fire, North Korea stated it would attack any loudspeakers broadcasting propaganda and would respond, militarily, within 48 hours if the broadcasts do not stop.
• When he became chairman of this city committee, there were 300,000 more Republicans registered in the city of Philadelphia than Democrats, and it is a source of satisfaction to me that tonight there are 260,000 more Democrats registered.
• Rathke also asked the governments of South East Asia not to turn away boats of people seeking asylum
• So , I assumed oh that like maybe it was just like a sore throat gotten because I did n't bother to you know blow dry my hair .
• Last week, I read 2,300 Humvees — these are big vehicles — were left behind for the enemy.
• And the way it's marketed, and the way we're d- — we develop needs for it. (d- should be reparandum)
• In this case , the excellent advice offered by your instructors on assisting chute opening may be of assistance to you .
• Spiritually and culturally important to Moriori , it holds the last known concentration of momori - rakau , or tree carvings done by the ancestors of today 's Moriori .
• Photos released of the scene showed numerous bloodied bodies and various scattered debris .
• I note with great pleasure the freedom to re-purpose offered by openly licensed educational resources , the convenience that online access to learners as alternative courses delivery and certification methods .

The part of speech for cross is wrong.

• We don’t have any rules or known lines we won’t cross.

Thanks for reporting! I can fix these, but:

1. Can you explain the error in this sentence? I don't see acl:relcl there: "When he became chairman of this city committee,..."
2. I think "the way we're d-" might be correct, the annotator is basically saying that the person started to say a relative clause whose predicate was truncated, then changed the structure to non-relative (but that "d-" is the parent of "we"). Otherwise it's hard to attach that part.
3. The last example is probably intended as a case of promotion, since the clause in question is missing a verb. I think it's conceivable to interpret it as a relative clause, but of course it is ungrammatical.

I don't actually see "that" in the treebank:

One interpretation is that "of" is missing after "convenience". (In EWT I have started indicating such inferable missing words on the previous word in MISC: MissingWordsAfter=of.)

Another interpretation is that a verb like "provides" is missing at the end. But "access" would be the head of "learners" even in this case.

I can't think of an interpretation that supports acl:relcl(convenience, learners).

I rechecked the sentence and now I feel like the annotation is correct. Sorry!

Yes, probably I copied the sentence with the added 'that' but forgot to remove it.

By the way, in the following sentences, the pos tags for that might be wrong?

• It was a tournament that I wish we'd actually gone back to more often.
• Ozone is something that we understand the causes of, and the steps that need to be taken to improve air quality."
• The founders of Airbnb recognized that some people have unused resources, bedrooms, that other people need.
• I am back in Philadelphia to express my thanks for that support and also to express appreciation for the help we received from those Democrats in this city and State, and to report to you on the progress that this country has made on the goals that were outlined 3 years ago.

I believe WDT/PRON for relativizers and IN/SCONJ for complementizers is correct.

[nschneid]

The Philadelphia sentence has 3 distinct uses of "that". Would make a good exam question. :)

I also think the tags are right in those sentences.

Regarding the convenience sentence, I do see how it could be acl:relcl with the 'provides' reconstruction like this, but as you say, the promotion should apply to the subject before the oblique. That said, the annotator was inconsistent here: they made the deps assume a verbal ellipsis reconstruction, but in the target hypothesis they put:

the DT  the
convenience NN  convenience
<sic ana="of online">
online  JJ  online
</sic>
access  NN  access

Since this is simpler, I'll adjust the deps to follow the TH.

I thought the relative pronouns (in bold) were marked as ADP/IN rather than PRON/WDT in the following sentences? Or maybe my data is not updated.

• It was a tournament that I wish we'd actually gone back to more often.
• Ozone is something that we understand the causes of, and the steps that need to be taken to improve air quality."
• The founders of Airbnb recognized that some people have unused resources, bedrooms, that other people need.
• I am back in Philadelphia to express my thanks for that support and also to express appreciation for the help we received from those Democrats in this city and State, and to report to you on the progress that this country has made on the goals that were outlined 3 years ago.

Sorry, it turns out that my data is outdated.
