Typos in all-examples/pagified #109

Closed danflick closed 2 months ago

danflick commented 4 months ago

While parsing the examples in all-examples/pagified using the English Resource Grammar, I found a number of example sentences in that file where the text does not match what is in the CGEL book:

(1) typo on p. #206| iii These ideas are to be found throught his later work. "throught" => "throughout" (2) typo on p. #320| ii a. She praised him for him sincerity. b. She praised his sincerity. "for him sincerity." => "for his sincerity."

Thanks Dan, I will look into these. However, you should NOT have to parse the pagified file—a much cleaner file is https://github.com/nert-nlp/cgel/blob/main/all-examples/cge01-17Ex.yaml

Hi Nathan,

The .yaml file is indeed cleaner and much easier to work with, but alas it is missing a lot of examples from the book that are more faithfully preserved in the 'pagified' file, which is what led me to work directly with that file. (I was also sad to see that the .yaml file systematically replaced the left quote mark used in the book with a straight quote mark throughout.) Below are some examples of mismatches between the .yaml file and the book; comments on the first 500 pages are meant to be exhaustive, while the remainder are just illustrative but not complete. I hope these are helpful.

During this trip he risked his life by diving overboard into the icy waters to cut a line free from the yacht's propeller. On his return, Bland began to plan a visit to the North Magnetic Pole.

Thanks for itemizing these issues. I’ve fixed the first batch: these were due to errors in the .docx files, including a widespread problem in Ch. 16 where an unusual character (U+2010) was substituted for the standard hyphen. Additional instances beyond the ones you listed: p. 1373 co-operative p. 1375 off-the-wall p. 1376 passers-by p. 1380 collective-bargaining p. 1388 low-income, high-rises p. 1389 fifty-foot

nschneid commented 4 months ago

Fixed the easy cases. Some of the missing sentences are due to limitations in processing special layouts. Will need to work more on the scripts.

danflick commented 4 months ago

Thanks for the quick improvements. I found another pair of similar errors in pagified' andcge01-17Ex.yaml', likely the last additional ones I'll bother you with, since I have now sent all of the sentences through the English Resource Grammar and treebanked the 95% that the grammar can analyze. I also extracted the numbered examples from your cge18Ex.docx and cge19-20Ex.docx, since I'm also interested in derivational lexical rules and in punctuation, so the short list below includes a few errors from those files.

Additional errors in 'cge01-17Ex.yaml' and in 'pagified' p.464 ex. 27i lowercase "junko" should be uppercase "Junko" p.916 ex. 46iii b. [What exactly] do you mean?.
[delete the spurious final period, not in the book]

Errors in cge19-20Ex.docx Ch.20 p.29 ex.83ii "raise again" => "rise again" Ch.20 p.33 ex.5i "did not want have to" => "did not want to have to" Ch.20 p.41 ex.4iii "Indianopolis" => "Indianapolis

Maybe of interest, I also found the following five apparent errors in examples in the book itself, which I've reported to Geoffrey Pullum, who may consider them for his Errata web page (http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/~gpullum/cgelerrata.html):

(a) missing word on p.1017 ex.18.1.b
The bank manager is be congratulated on this initiative. "is be congratulated" => "is to be congratulated" (b) typo on p.1359 ex.28.i The tourists, most of them foreigners, had been hoarded onto a cattle truck. "hoarded" => "herded" (c) missing word on p.1556 ex.21.i They moved from [the old Treasury Buildings] to Government House ballroom across the road; American military authorities were in [the former place]. "to Government House ballroom" => "to the Government House ballroom" (d) typo on p.1563 ex.15.ii She lost her job soon after her father died. She was still in her fifities at this time, much too young for retirement. "in her fifities" => "in her fifties" (e) missing word on p.1736 ex.4.ii.b He told the press his reason: he did not want have to renegotiate his contract, but he did not give any explanation to the team owners. "... did not want have to ..." => "... did not want to have to ..."

nschneid commented 4 months ago

Regarding (c), I found the source text, part of the ACE corpus:

Back in Western Australia I called at the Education Department to argue my way free from the teaching profession. The Department had moved from the old Treasury Buildings to Government House Ballroom across the Terrace; American military authorities were in the former place.

So maybe "Ballroom" should be capitalized instead of adding "the"?

danflick commented 4 months ago

Good find. I'll be interested to see what Pullum says, but restoring the capitalization as it was in the original text would be simplest, yes.

nschneid commented 3 months ago

Progress update:

danflick commented 3 months ago

I reported this example to Geoffrey Pullum, who elected on the CGEL Errata web page (http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/~gpullum/cgelerrata.html) to correct the example by adding the article "the" rather than restoring the capitalization of "ballroom".

nschneid commented 2 months ago

I believe all these examples are now fixed. Thanks @danflick for the thorough report!

danflick commented 2 months ago

Great work, thanks, Nathan.
