Question

How do I insert a word into the target output?

Answer 1

Naturally to add something to the target output, we need to add something to the output part of our transfer rule. And what goes in output part the of our transfer rule? Lexical units. We need to insert a lexical unit block under the output element of our transfer rule. The bare minimum we need for a lexical unit is the word-sense and the grammatical category. If we are manually outputting a word-sense, we need to use a literal string element and the text needs to be of the form word1.2. Where 1 would be the homograph number (if there isn’t one in FLEx, use 1) and 2 would be the sense number. In this case the second sense of the word. The image below shows how it might look.
