The reason for not to go with morph:Head
has been the recent introduction of frac:head
(a property that points from a collocation to the word that the collocation scores are about). That risk is minimal as both reside in different namespaces, they are unlikely to co-occur (collocations are normally not conducted over morphemes) and one is a property whereas the other is a class, but it was felt that there is a risk for confusion.
In compounding, a head is the element that defines the syntactic characteristics of the compound. Should be subproperty of
morph:CompoundingRelation
. Issue is to decide how to name it:morph:Head
: potentially misleading, in older literature, "head" can also be used for suffixes, but usingmorph:head
in this way entails that suffixes would be part of compounding relations. This can be solved by putting a note into the document.morph:CompoundHead
(current name) doesn't align well withmorph:Compound*ing*Relation
. So this will be an invitation for errors.morph:CompoundingHead
is consistent withmorph:CompoundingRelation
, but the dynamic aspect of "compounding" (which is intended) doesn't fit the more static notion of head.Request:
morph:Head
with a clarifying note
