SyntacticBehaviour, Examples and Frames #4

Closed FredsoNerd closed 3 years ago

FredsoNerd commented 3 years ago

In discussion with @arademaker, we encountered what look like mislead about the definition of SyntacticBehaviour and Examples when defining LexicalEntrys in https://github.com/goodmami/wn/blob/main/wn/index.toml#L23-L25.

It looks like the occurrences of data defined as SyntacticBehaviour in that file should be defined as Example, while SyntacticBehaviour should contain the info about Frames from PWN.

Example:

<LexicalEntry id="pwn30-overbear-v" >
      [...]

      <SyntacticBehaviour subcategorizationFrame="The banks %s the check"/>
      <SyntacticBehaviour subcategorizationFrame="They %s the car down the avenue"/>
      <SyntacticBehaviour subcategorizationFrame="The coins %s "/>
      <SyntacticBehaviour subcategorizationFrame="They %s the coin "/>
    </LexicalEntry>

Instead of something like https://github.com/globalwordnet/schemas/blob/49b273ecf833cc6acd30074fbdbb771aa9fd8cf8/example.xml#L69-L75

Those aren't examples (i.e., from the gloss lines in WordNet's WNDB data files), but a kind of template string for illustrating syntactic usage. I'm not sure where these (somewhat odd) sentences come from, but in any case the next release will replace them with the standard frames from PWN.
