[MORPHOLOGY] Adverbs ending with -mente #37

Closed marcoagpinto closed 4 months ago

marcoagpinto commented 4 months ago

Heya, @p-goulart ,

I was going to add the morphologic information for the words I added yesterday, and I wanted to start with the -mente adverbs, so I found this file: adv_mente-lt.txt

However, it has the words as RG instead of RM.

But the text analysis on the website seems to show them as RM (which is the correct tag?): https://community.languagetool.org/analysis/index?lang=pt

Take for example this word: topograficamente I was going to add it, but it was already in the .txt tagged as RG, but it appears as RM which I believe it is the correct.

How do I add them?

Thanks!

You can add them to the adv_mente-lt.txt file without a problem, as either RG or RM, and they will be converted to RM.

You are correct that those are supposed to be RM.

The way this currently works is the Portuguese tagger tags -mente-suffixed adverbs with as RG, and then there is a disambiguator rule to turn those into RM. I don't know why it's done this way, it seems silly.

We could fix this so that these adverbs are RM from the start, of course, but I don't think our rules really need the RG vs. RM distinction anyway..? Anyway, yeah, it's safe to add them there.
