FW with case #399

Open aecay opened 8 years ago

aecay commented 8 years ago

I've come across something strange, namely instances of FW with case. There is one in 1611.okur.rel-oth.psd. It is a Latin dative tagged FW-D. Should foreign case systems be tagged in Icepahc? It would be nicer if they were not, I think. There is another instance in 1791.jonsteingrims.bio-aut.psd: 

(NP (PRO-D þér-þú) (FW-D einum-einn)))

Here "einum" should be tagged NUM, right (i.e. this is a simple mistake)?

Thanks for pointing that out! Yes, this is a mistake in 1791.jonsteingrims. I changed it to FP-D, as "þér einum" here means 'you alone' ("You are supposed to pray for more people than you alone"). I chose FP because the PPCHE annotation guidelines say: "When ONE means ONLY, ALONE and follows the noun or pronoun it focuses or when it follows NOT in the meaning NOT ONLY, it is treated as a focus particle (FP)." (http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~beatrice/annotation/words.htm#o)

For 1611.okur, I don't have a strong opinion on whether FW should be case marked or not. However, this is the only example of FW with case that I can find, so I've changed FW-D it to FW -- now there shouldn't be any instances of FW with case marking in IcePaHC.
