The
G.E.R.L. structure is the following:
- Morphology:
- Part of speech
- Noun: type, gender, number, case, morphological segmentation (suffixes, prefixes)
- Verb: type, mode, tense, voice, number, a way of mentioning if it is with particle or not (German and English)
- Pronoun: type, person, gender, number, case
- Adjective: gender, number, case, degree of comaprison
- Article: gender, number, case, type
- Adverb: degree of comparison
- Numeral: type
- Preposition
- Conjunction
- Verb particle: for English and German
- Syntax:
- Cases for prepositions
- Main/subordinate sentences for conjunctions and verbs
- Personal/not personal verbs
- Transitive/intransitive verbs
- Mass nouns, nouns with only singular, or plural, or uncountable nouns
- Semantics:
- Synonyms
- Thematic roles for verbs
- Collocations
- A way of mentioning if a word is a foreign word or not
G.E.R.L. is thought to be a full-form lexicon. In case of compound words, all the words in the compound one should be already in the dictionary. The part of speech for a compound word is the one of the MAIN word. In case of no possibility of connection between the languages it is said that is a lexical gap.
