[en] Chunker improvement (2)

[MikeUnwalla]

For rules that I worked on in LT, errors are marked as 'chunker error', usually in APs, so there is nothing to do. (Possibly #7044 makes an AP redundant, so you might want to check and remove redundancies.)

These are some errors that I noticed with my data with LanguageTool-20220911-snapshot:

Different chunks for lower case text and upper case text (the lower case text is correct):

• [ ] Sudden operation of the gyro can cause unwanted movement of the horizontal stabilizer. can[can/MD,B-VP] SUDDEN OPERATION OF THE GYRO CAN CAUSE UNWANTED MOVEMENT OF THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER. CAN[can/MD,I-NP-singular]

• [ ] The lower seal comes into view when you pull the lower bearing down. down/B-ADVP THE LOWER SEAL COMES INTO VIEW WHEN YOU PULL THE LOWER BEARING DOWN. DOWN/no chunk

Different chunks for lower case text and initial caps text (the lower case text is correct):

• [ ] Technicians stopped telling supervisory managers after consultation. stopped[stop/VBD,B-VP] Technicians Stopped Telling Supervisory Managers After Consultation. Stopped[stop/VBD,I-NP-plural]

Noun for which the singular and the plural are the same. Possible solution is to use the verb that follows to decide if the noun phrase is singular or plural:

• [ ] The happy sheep is grazing in the field. sheep[sheep/NN,sheep/NNS,E-NP-plural], from #7044
• [ ] The shiny new aircraft was on the runway. aircraft[aircraft/NN,aircraft/NNS,E-NP-plural], from #7044

Other singular noun has a plural chunk:

I have not included these types of examples:

• Ambiguous text. "Let's stop getting this biweekly." Is biweekly a noun or an adverb?
• Unlikely text. Typically, sentences that I invented for my tests.
• Texts that need much context to disambiguate. drops/verb: Pressure drops if the temperature decreases. drops/noun: Pressure drops if the temperature decreases are large.
