initial evaluation of ambiguity

Ambiguity before disambiguation is ~1.366.

I am looking at イタㇰ which can be analyzed as either a noun ("speak") or verb ("speech/story"). My heuristic is that since Ainu is an SOV language, the final word in a sentence's part of speech cannot be noun. Ideally all the words would be in the transducer with correct analyses but I found the disambiguation too close to the deadline and will have to finish after/over break:

For the verb reading (I do not yet have a translation for this sentence): ^HIV/*HIV$ / ^エイ/*エイ$ズ、^マラリア/*マラリア$、^ウサ/*ウサ$ ^オカ/*オカ$ ^シイェイェ/*シイェイェ$ ^キ/*キ$ ^ウタ/*ウタ$ㇻ ^アト/*アト$ゥ^サレ/*サレ$ ^クニ/*クニ$、^ネ/ネ<vblex><cop>$ ^ウタ/*ウタ$ㇻ ^コ/コ<cnjsub>$ㇿ ^イタㇰ/イタㇰ<vblex>$ ^アニ/アニ<exc>$。

For the noun reading (I haven't yet analysed the first word yet, a transitive verb meaning "be vague") "A vague story": ^アエラㇺウサウサㇰ/*アエラㇺウサウサㇰ$ ^イタㇰ/イタㇰ<n>$。


final evaluation of ambiguity

Here is the disambiguation rule:

  1. If there is a sentence ending exclamation to the right, I cannot be a noun.
  2. i.e. A noun cannot precede a sentence-final exclamation.

REMOVE (n) IF (1 (exc)) ;

Ambiguity after disambiguation is ~0.026.
