I think I fixed all occurances of "wird". Some of them are copulas but some are auxiliaries. I do not know what to do about this: [wird;将].

'将' is the translation of will. Should it be glossed as AUX, too?

stefan11 commented 6 years ago

No, AUX is very general and if you have Chinese glossings they should be prefered. But then you have to do it everywhere. So wird/wirst/werden is only AUX if it is the passive auxiliary, right?

stefan11 commented 6 years ago

Why did you put an AUX in here? If you have a Chinese translation, it would be better to use this one (everywhere). With grep it is easy to find the occurances of AUX in the texfiles.

Werden is a word with multiple meanings. Now only passive auxiliaries are glossed as AUX. I will check the other occurrences of 'wird/wirst/werden'.
