Hi,
I'm trying to write a rule that identifies missing question marks in
interrogative sentences which start with a verb e.g. Is, Are, Should,
Could, Can etc...
Is a paperless office really possible? <-- correct
Is a paperless office really possible <-- incorrect
Is a paperless office really possible. <-- incorrect
Below is my attempt at writing the rule, but it does not work.
<pattern>
<token postag="SENT_START"/>
<token postag="VBZ"/><!-- Sentence that starts with a verb -->
<token regexp="yes">[\s\S]*</token>--><!-- match any string i.e. any
sequence of words -->
<token negate="yes">?</token><!-- detect if sentence does not end with a
question mark -->
<token postag="SENT_END"/>
</pattern>
I'm guessing there is something wrong with the third token i.e. where I am
attempting to match any sequence of words.
Any advice on how to get this working would be appreciated.
Thanks
Robin.
