I think nummod + obl is the best option here, which also seems to be the majority decision. An argument for obl, rather than nmod, is that we would use advmod, not amod, for "very" in "very long". Hence, "3 hours" in "3 hours long" is adverbial, not adnominal, and obl should be used instead of nmod.
I agree with @jnivre.
This was not very clear from the early discussion about the v2 guidelines (at least not to me) but the borderline between obl
and nmod
has verbs AND adjectives AND adverbs as parents on the left side, and nouns on the right. (Although it is more complex if a noun functions as a predicate.)
Dutch follows the majority of using nummod + obl ;-)
Noted and I've left an issue at the German treebank issues page. Thanks all! :)
FYI I think in English-GUM we still have nmod:npmod which goes back to Stanford Dependencies npadvmod. I can change it but I assume this won't be in the upcoming version due to data freeze. @dan-zeman shall I commit it to dev or wait until after the release?
@amir-zeldes If you can change it now, please do so; I still have not done the final pull. And I suppose English-EWT uses obl
(I did not check though), so it would be a bit more harmonization for the shared task.
OK, I can do that, just need to validate again. Should be done by end of day.
OK, done in UniversalDependencies/UD_English-GUM@b03e117843999fe8a72793bcc4c79af24912c834
BTW I checked and EWT does indeed use obl:npmod, so now they're hopefully the same!
What to do when there is a construction like
Num hours/minutes/feet long
?Bokmål
The measure expression is
obl
to "long".Nynorsk
The measure expression is
obl
to "long".Danish
Measure expression is
obl
to "lang".Swedish
I couldn't find any examples with adjectives, but did find this with an adverb, the measure expression again is
obl
.German
German has
nmod
(but alsonmod
for the numeral which looks wrong)Seems that German is the odd one out here, and we should go with
obl
.
