Initial evaluation of ambiguity

  • Number of tokens: 1967
  • Number of analyses: 2059
  • Current ambiguity: 1.04677 analyses/token

However, none of these are actually ambiguous cases, but rather represent tokenization errors. So, the effective ambiguity is 1.

After the addition of two example sentences illustrating the two meanings of "tápos" (explained below), here are the ambiguity statistics:

  • Number of tokens: 1983
  • Number of analyses: 2079
  • Current ambiguity: 1.04841 analyses/token

Tápos

The Bikol word "tápos" can have either of the following two meanings, illustrated by example sentences pulled from Bikol Text by Malcolm W. Mintz. These sentences were added to my corpus.

  • Conjunctive adverb: then, afterward
    • Patosón mo an pansít, tápos, darahón mo digdí. (Wrap the noodles, then bring them here.)
    • Correct analysis: ^Patós<vblex><inf>$ ^mo<prn><p2><sg>$ ^an<det><def>$ ^pansít<n>$^,<cm>$ ^tápos<cnjadv>$ ^dará<vblex><inf>$ ^mo<prn><p2><sg>$ ^*digdí$^.<sent>$
  • Adjective: over, completed
    • Tápos na an síne. (The movie is already over.)
    • Correct analysis: ^Tápos<adj><sg>$ ^na<link>$ ^an<det><def>$ ^síne<n>$^.<sent>$

Final evaluation of ambiguity

  • Number of tokens: 1983
  • Number of analyses: 2075
  • Current ambiguity: 1.04639 analyses/token

The number of analyses was reduced by 4 after disambiguation. This corresponds with the four instances of "tápos" in my corpus (two originally in my corpus and the two from the example sentences which I added). This indicates that all four sentences containing "tápos" in my corpus were successfully disambiguated.
