According to the starting purpose of the lexica, G.E.R.L. should contain the following information:
Part of speech
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. Because it is followed the PAROLE/SIMPLE structure (SGML encoded), the above structure can be easily changed by modifying the DTD. Some more specifications: Gender: masculine, feminine, neuter Number: singular, plural (mass-nouns, only sg, only pl, uncountable) Case: N,Ac,D,G (V) Mode: indicative, conjunctive, conditional, imperative, supine, participle, gerund, infinitive – NOT ALL IN THE DTD Tense: see the section about the problems – NOT ALL IN THE DTD Voice: active, passive – NOT IN THE DTD ANYMORE Person: 1,2,3 Types: Pron_Type: personal, reflexive, demonstrative, interrogative, relative, possessive Noun_Type: common, proper Article_type: definite, indefinite, negative(kein in German) Verb_Type: main, auxiliary, modal, copulative Numeral_type: ordinal, cardinal, fractional, repetitive, multiplicative, variative Degree: (positive), comparative (in Romanian are superiority, equality, inferiority), superlative (absolute, relative) – NOT ALL VALUES ARE IN THE DTD Conjunction (type): coordination, subordination ‘NOT ALL VALUES are in the DTD’ means that from the possible values are some that require compound entries and not lexemes. That is why only the values below were selected: - Mood: indicative, imperative, infinitive, participle, gerund, conjunctive - Tense: present, imperfect, past, more than perfect, simple perfect - Comperision degree: positive, comparative, superlative |
