How do I search for anarthrous nouns?
You basically specify that the article must not be present.
The Terminal Node in Cascadia effectively is the same as a Word. You select "Determiner" = Article and choose "Is not present" rather than the default "is present".
In OpenText you would use a Modifier term and select "Specifier" for the article.
Both methods avoid having to define a Word whose morphology is "Article"! Because the determiner and clause are in different nodes, it ensures that the noun is anarthrous irrespective of intervening words eg. the marvellous boat would be considered anarthrous if we only looked at words (marvellous) immediately before the noun!
Thanks, Dave.
Now, as far as I'm aware, OpenText does not have the "Is not present" option. So, how do I specify that the modifier is not there with OpenText?
Stefan,
Yes; Opentext does have a "must not be present"
Here it is:
Hey, look at that! That's new to Logos 4; I had been working with Logos 3.
Thanks!
Does anyone know if I can get the Cascadia Syntax Graph tool without having to upgrade to a Scholar's library? Apparently (and unfortunately) it's not included with the Original Languages.
It is not separately available.
