Hello! I'm working on apertium-eng-cat and I've been having some
issues with genitives. Currently, many noun paradigms in apertium-eng
(mostly irregular nouns) have a <gen> form with the genitive. Not all
nouns have it, so apertium-eng also includes a specific lemma for the
regular genitive ('s) to add the <gen> tag in the analysis.
However, when using apertium-eng for generation, it is impossible to
know in advance whether or not a lemma has the genitive form, so
generation for lemmas without the <gen> form is broken.
I'm considering adding a <gen> form to all the affected paradigms to
fix this issue. Any objections?
Are there other pairs relying on apertium-eng ? Would this break them ?
Otherwise, I don't see a problem, go ahead. Although I'd make it like
house<n><sg>:house
house<n><pl>:houses
house<n><sg>+s<gen>:house's
house<n><pl>+s<gen>:houses'
Instead of:
house<n><sg>:house
house<n><pl>:houses
house<n><sg><gen>:house's
house<n><pl><gen>:houses'
Note that would will also probably need to include the other uses of 's
too (is / has):
e.g. "The cat's around the corner", "That cat's had his last fish
supper".
