CPWR

Composition rules (CPWR) are used to generate compounds out of the base form.

When to use composition rules

Composition rules must be created only in case of multiword expressions with the following features:

Composition rules in the dictionary

In the UNL^arium frameword, composition rules may be expressed in two different formats:

• As complex structures, such as

[[sub-NLW][sub-NLW]...[sub-NLW]]  {ID}  “UW”  (ATTR , ..., #01(ATTR, ...), #02(ATTR, ...), ...)  < FLG , FRE , PRI >; COMMENTS

• • For further information on complex structures inside the dictionary, refer to Dictionary Specs#Complex structures as NLW*
• As simple structures, such as

[NLW]  {ID}  “UW”  (ATTR , ..., BF=<BASE FORM>, CPWR=MTW(<COMPOSITION RULE>) )  < FLG , FRE , PRI >; COMMENTS

• • Where <COMPOSITION RULE> is the rule or set of rules used to form the lemma out of the base form, and <BASE FORM> is the base form

Example of dictionary entries containing composition rules

• [[bring] [back]] {12343} "202078294" (pos=VER, #01(IFX(ET0:=4>"ought")), #02(pos=PRE)) <eng, 0, 0>;
• [bring back] {12343} "202078294" (pos=VER, BF=bring, CPWR=MTW(VA([back],A,M0);)) <eng, 0, 0>;
