[09:51:33] does anyone else find making smart paradigms among the most fun parts in making a RG? ^^ [09:52:17] and if not, just give me a description of morphology and I'll make your smart paradigms! [14:57:53] my grammar generates the sentence "small animal reads a book in a large bird", and google translate gives "In a small animal a book reads a large bird" [14:58:38] I don't argue that the original made a whole lot of sense, but GT makes even less [15:09:25] inariksit: recently it seems that GT actually got worse, especially in handling prepositions [15:21:27] oh, really? [15:21:38] did google do something different? :-D [15:21:55] to be fair, prepositions in somali are apparently really complex [15:22:05] you can put them together with other prepositions and with object pronouns [15:22:18] so one word can express e.g. "from us to him" [15:22:35] (but I'm not that far yet in my implementation, they don't contract yet) [15:24:01] i had some cases of GT dropping prepositions between swedish and english [15:40:39] *** Joins: ski (~ski@remote11.chalmers.se) [15:44:13] hello ski! [15:48:52] effectively this becomes a 2-dimensional conjugation, because I need to have both arguments to a V3/V2S/similar before I can choose the preposition [15:49:41] I wonder if I should just have some kind of big table of all pairs of prepositions and agreements [15:49:45] so preposition becomes a parameter [15:50:25] (I'm just using #gf as my rubber duck as I write grammars, this is just a normal day on this channel :-P) [15:50:56] actually it is one of the more active days here :) [15:51:18] *** Quits: daherb_ (~daherb@cse-principia.cse.chalmers.se) (Quit: leaving) [15:53:19] so who are you ski and how did you find here? ^^ [16:08:31] *** Joins: daherb (~daherb@cse-principia.cse.chalmers.se) [17:31:40] *** Joins: proteusguy (~proteus-g@cm-134-196-84-17.revip18.asianet.co.th) [18:19:49] *** Parts: proteusguy (~proteus-g@cm-134-196-84-17.revip18.asianet.co.th) ("Leaving") [18:19:53] *** Joins: proteusguy (~proteus-g@cm-134-196-84-17.revip18.asianet.co.th) [18:51:29] hm [18:51:58] i've been here before, at some point, i think (or maybe that was in #grammaticalframework or ##grammaticalframework ?) [18:52:31] i first heard of GF, when i saw the GF-Alfa plugin demonstrated by Ranta [18:53:41] i was considering mentioning GF to someone else in another channel, who seems interested in natural language processing, and then i realized that i wasn't currently in the channel [18:54:00] (however, they're not connected atm, so i haven't done that yet) [18:57:43] * ski looks at inariksit
