[01:28:51] <inariksit> daherb: sure, I'm fine with moving! we should bug john about gf-log-bot
[01:29:42] <inariksit> I do like the feature of the IRC channel that the logs are online, just recently a colleague of mine in singapore found an answer to her GF question from an IRC log from 2016

[12:56:39] <dobrovskaya> Aha yes it works! (I was doing that but I forgot to save the changes..)
[12:58:35] <dobrovskaya> Maybe this is silly, but I was trying out the sentence "the old man the boat" which is the canonical example for a garden-path sentence. I thought GF would be able to find the right parsing but it does not =(
[13:00:14] <dobrovskaya> I thought it could be a nice property of GF, to be able to parse such sentences, as gtranslate of course fails to _understand_ it
[13:01:52] <inariksit> did you have "old" as a noun
[13:04:02] <inariksit> or alternatively, a syntactic function that allows any adjective to be used as a noun phrase
[13:04:47] <inariksit> this is the function you need https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/blob/master/src/abstract/Extend.gf#L171
[13:05:04] <inariksit> one of those:
[13:05:05] <inariksit>     AdjAsCN : AP -> CN ;   -- a green one ; en grön (Swe)
[13:05:05] <inariksit>     AdjAsNP : AP -> NP ;   -- green (is good)
[13:05:27] <inariksit> I guess AdjAsCN is better, because you will need to add the determiner, to get "the old"
[13:05:41] <inariksit> and AdjAsNP would just make the AP into a NP without a determiner

[13:49:36] <dobrovskaya> I took the shortcut to just add "old" as a noun as well
[13:49:42] <inariksit> yeah makes sense
[13:50:00] <dobrovskaya> so "the old walks" and "he mans the boat" are parsed correctly
[13:50:22] <inariksit> ah, the old is singular
[13:50:27] <inariksit> does it work "the olds man the boat"
[13:50:34] <dobrovskaya> OH
[13:50:44] <dobrovskaya> YES
[13:50:47] <inariksit> if you use the smart paradigms, you need to give it 2 arguments
[13:50:50] <dobrovskaya> AGH that was so silly
[13:50:50] <inariksit> mkN "old" "old"
[13:50:53] <inariksit> hahaha
[14:50:35] <dobrovskaya> but this is so cool now, it means GF parses these sentences correctly !
[14:51:06] <dobrovskaya> (I mean, I expected this much, but it is HUGE)

[14:53:33] <inariksit> ^^
[14:53:51] <inariksit> it's nice to find a problem where your favourite tool does better than the mainstream
[15:17:24] <dobrovskaya> yayyy way to go, GF !
[15:17:28] <dobrovskaya> hahha
