Identified Ambiguity

Morphological Ambiguity

  • Wan ("this") can be an animate demonstrative pronoun or demonstrative determiner. To resolve this ambiguity, we wrote code to choose the demonstrative determiner tag when wan precedes a noun.
    • ^Wan/Wan<det><dem><aa><sg>$ ^moonáhkeew/moonáhkeew<n><aa><sg>/moonáhkeew<n><aa><px3sg>$ ^kawíiw/kawíi<v><iv><aa><s_3sg>$^../..<sent>$ ("This groundhog sleeps.")

  • Níil can be a noun ("my head") or an inanimate demonstrative pronoun ("those"). To resolve this ambiguity, we wrote code to choose the inanimate demonstrative pronoun tag when followed by an inanimate plural verb.
    • ^Néemunal/*Néemunal$ ^níil/níil<det><dem><nn><pl>$ ^ahpapóonal/áhpapoon<n><nn><pl>$^../..<sent>$ ("I saw them - those chairs.")
    • ^Níil/Níil<n><nn><sg>$ ^nuwiinamámaaw/*nuwiinamámaaw$^../..<sent>$ ("I hurt my head" - we created this example)
