感谢您 @Iver+Larsen 的回复,以及分享来自实际项目(们)的经验。
如果我理解得没错,您是在说复合词是合法的,但“圣经术语”工具无法建立联系(或“找到”对应译法),尽管语素(词干)已正确输入到词表中。这可以解释为什么我无法完成 strongvoice 的条目。
如果我理解正确,我不仅会写一个功能请求,这几乎是一个错误报告(bug report)。复合词是许多语言的重要组成部分。而且作为德国人,我对它们有着特别的喜爱。我们在非洲的这种语言也是制造聪明复合词的冠军。
通常,我会为每个新的功能请求开启一个新线程,以获取其他高级用户的意见。我仍然希望我遗漏了什么。
在一个通常基于词干的形态“魔法”系统中放入数百个完整的(表层形式)复合词感觉不对劲。特别是许多复合词是名词,它们反过来可以接受前缀,如复数标记或焦点标记。因此,PT 系统需要完全支持它们,否则就会陷入混乱。
我可以制作几种黑客手段(hacks)和变通方法,但与顾问和合作伙伴合作时,每增加一个自制的变通方法,事情就会变得更加复杂。
在我们的情况下,许多“希腊语”概念是新的,比如 baptize(浸入水中再拉出来),所以猜猜看;需要创造表达。通常需要一个完整的短语来表达一个新概念。但每当我们设法创造一个好的复合词时,我们都很高兴,因为我们可以更好地展示细微差别(waterdippull)。我们可以使用正常的本地词缀将 baptize 变为 baptist(waterdippuller)、baptizm(a waterdippulling)等。在这样的术语比多词短语在沟通上更好(在经典长路加福音句子的语境中)。您都知道这些。我只是在热身,向技术人员解释为什么复合词不是“奇怪”或“边缘问题案例”,而是许多语言的重要主流特征。(我的例子是真实的,但在实际语言中它们看起来和听起来要优雅得多。)
Thank you @Iver+Larsen for your reply and for sharing from real project(s).
If I understand you correctly, you are saying that compound words are legitimate, but that the Biblical terms tool cannot make the connection (or “find” a rendering), although the morphemes (stems) are properly entered into the word-list. This would explain, why I cannot complete my entry for strongvoice.
If I got this right, I will not just write a feature request, this would be almost a bug report. Compound words are an important part of many languages. And being German, I got special love for them. Our language here in Africa is also a champion in making smart compound words.
Normally I start a fresh thread for each new feature request, to get input from other power users. I still hope I am missing something.
Putting hundreds of complete (surface-form) compound words into a normally stem-based morphology-magic-system feels wrong. Especially since many compound words are nouns, which can in turn take on prefixes, like plural-markers or focalizers. So the PT system needs to fully support them, or it would be chaos.
I could make several hacks and work-arounds, but working with consultants and partners gets ever more complicated with each home-cooked-hack.
In our situation, many “Greek” concepts are new, like baptize (dip in water and pull out again), so guess, what; expressions need to be created. Often an entire phrase is needed to express one new concept. But whenever we manage to create a good compound word, we rejoice, because we can then better show the nouances (waterdippull). We can use the normal local affixes to turn baptize into baptist (waterdippuller), baptizm (a waterdippulling), etc. And such terms are communicating better (in the context of a classic long Luke-sentence) than a multi-word-phrase. You know all that. I am just warming up to explain to the technicians, why compound words are not “weird” and “marginal problem cases” but important mainstream features of many languages. (My examples are real, but they look and sound much more elegant in the actual language.)
