Homework 5

Write a PML-TQ query that searches for a-nodes (nodes on the analytical layer) that are not referred to from the tectogrammatical layer (i.e. from any t-node). Use an output filter to generate a distribution of values of attribute afun of these a-nodes. Test the query on any PDT-like data, e.g. PDT 3.0 (you do not need to understand Czech). Submit both the textual version of the query and the result to the svn.

The output should look like this (your numbers may differ depending on the treebank you use):

AuxK	38993
AuxX	34770
AuxG	15897
ExD	3872
AuxR	2030
Coord	549
Apos	146
Atr	2
Adv	2
AuxZ	1

Ask for an account to access the PML-TQ server if you need one and do not have it. You do not need an account if you use the web interface and test the query e.g. on the PDT 3.0 data (they are freely accessible). If you use the TrEd client, you will need an account.

For the query, you will need to know:
