govobj: "out-of-place"

Open nschneid opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

"out-of-place" is treated as an MWE. Even though syntactically "of" has "out" as its governor and "place" as its object, the heuristic_relation info is stored on strong expressions, so "of" is not assigned a governor or object.

Consider whether this should be changed (e.g. by putting heuristic_relation at the token level, and omitting it only in the case of a noninitial token of a multiword prep), or documented.

This also affects prepositional verbs:

  • We've only had one urgent issue to deal with

deal_with is marked as an MWE so the governor (deal) and object (issue) are not extracted.

Maybe the heuristic_relation should be moved to the token level and there should be a special config for noninitial tokens of a multiword prep. Or the config value could be the multiword prep itself.

Warning: if this is changed to the token the Xposition import scripts will have to be updated.

Is there a backward-compatible alternative? E.g. putting it on the token only for noninitial parts of an MWE?
