Multilingual Shapeworld

The language file for the ERG (trunk version) can be found here. Below an incomplete list of words and constructions which another language would ideally provide. Note that not all of the entries are required for every data generator.

DMRS demo

Attributes:

  • shape, square, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, cross, circle, semicircle, ellipse
  • red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, white

Relations:

  • left, right, above, below, behind, front
  • leftmost, rightmost, topmost, lowest
  • closer, farther, closest, farthest
  • smaller, bigger, smallest, biggest
  • darker, lighter, darkest, lightest

Quantifier (others possible here):

  • existential (e.g., "shape is green")

  • a, two, three, four, five (semantics: >=)

  • exactly one/two/three/four/five (semantics: ==)

  • the, both, the three, the four, the five (semantics: == and no others)

  • no, half, most, all

Constructions (incomplete):

  • attribute to relation (e.g., "square" --> "is a square")

  • relation to attribute (e.g., "is above a square" --> "which is above a square")

Trouble Shooting

With Jacy we have issues that the generator expects _pred_x_0_rel and the interface seems to strip off _rel, and it distinguished between strings and types.

Moving to semantic-interface-2016   := "../jacy.smi". fixes the string/type issue, I don't know how to deal with the _rel issue.
