Final Evaluation of Ambiguity

  • For right now, we're skipping this part because we have not found anything in our dictionary and sources yet that we can use for this disambiguation lab to write proper constraints.
  • We came back to this and added more rules. The rules mainly revolve around the ambiguity with the infinitive form of the verb and the object form of a noun. The examples we were able to find for this is sing (pire) and singer (pire) and corn cob (te) and be sweet (te). The rules state that the form is infinitive is preceded by the words want, love, or keep on. Another rule states that if the preceding word is a noun then the form is an infinitive.
