This page will be continuously updated with various considerations regarding the further development of the annotator and the statement concept.

Updates to structure

In this section I will look at various ways to update the structure of a Statement to make it more in line with linguistic theory.

Using constituents

Basic constituents:

• noun phrase (NP)
• verb phrase (VP)
• prepositional phrase (PP)

These basic constituents can be still be subdivided into subjects, objects, etc. based on attributes set.

PPs are related to the other constituents as child nodes, so possibly note this relationship in the new structure? For example, a PP can be described as being adverbial when it describes a VP.

Possibility of using phrase-structure grammar parser to retrieve constituents?

Rethinking conjunctions

Conjunctions can involve both verbs, nouns, and adjectives. I should rethink how these fit into the new basic structure using constituents and how it makes most sense to represent them.
