感謝 @Iver+Larsen 的回复,以及分享來自實際專案的經驗。
如果我理解得正確,您是在說複合詞是合法的,但聖經術語工具無法建立聯繫(或「找到」對應譯法),儘管形態素(詞根)已正確輸入到詞表中。這解釋了為什麼我無法完成 strongvoice 的條目。
如果我理解得沒錯,我不會僅僅提交一個功能請求,這幾乎應該是一個錯誤報告(bug report)。複合詞是許多語言的重要組成部分。身為德國人,我對它們特別有感情。我們在這裡(非洲)使用的語言也是製造巧妙複合詞的佼佼者。
通常我會為每個新的功能請求開啟一個新討論串,以獲得其他高級用戶的意見。我仍然希望我遺漏了什麼。
將數百個完整的(表面形式)複合詞放入一個通常基於詞根的形態分析魔法系統中,感覺不對勁。特別是許多複合詞是名詞,而名詞本身又可以加上前綴,例如複數標記或焦點標記。因此,PT 系統需要完全支持它們,否則就會是一片混亂。
我可以做出幾種變通方法(hacks)和解決方案,但隨著每個自製的變通方法,與顧問和合作夥伴的合作變得越來越複雜。
在我們的情況下,許多「希臘文」概念是新的,例如 baptize(浸入水中再拉出來),所以猜猜看;需要創造表達方式。通常,需要整個短語來表達一個新概念。但每當我們成功創造一個好的複合詞時,我們都會歡欣鼓舞,因為我們能更好地展現細微差別(waterdippull)。我們可以使用當地的正常詞綴將 baptize 轉化為 baptist(waterdippuller)、baptizm(a waterdippulling)等。在經典的長路加福音句子背景下,這些術語比多詞短語更能有效溝通。您都知道這些情況。我只是在熱身,向技術人員解釋為什麼複合詞不是「奇怪」或「邊緣問題案例」,而是許多語言的重要主流特徵。(我的例子是真實的,但在實際語言中看起來和聽起來要優雅得多。)
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.)
