D+6 Experiment
Hsinchu is currently experiencing overcast conditions but is expected to clear up into a mix of intervals of clouds and sunshine. Expect warm temperatures, with highs reaching up to around 32°C to 33°C (90°F to 91°F), before transitioning to partly cloudy skies in the evening. Central Weather Administration.
Last night 20:48 Jane sent a message saying that she was going to take a break from the Academic Writing Recipe (AWR) and prepare for the final exams on Tuesday the 9th of June. No problem. I will focus on Grace's part.
Jason picked up what was left behind yesterday and worked a bit in early morning. However, Jason spent more time thinking about the content:
- What about the grammatical relations (GR) of the collocations? How can GR be predicted for each collocation, when we start with ngrams without syntactic information?
- How can GRs can extended beyond MCD to include the grammar patterns in Collins COBUILD Project?
- Semantic tagging also presents some problems with MCD collocate clusters not associated with a definition (e.g., "AVAILABLE ADJ+for "collection, consultation, hire, inspection, purchase, sale, use)
- Jason asked Google Search (https://www.google.com/search?q=how+do+you+categorize+these+collocates+of+available+ADJ%2Bfor%3A+collection%2C+consultation%2C+hire%2C+inspection%2C+purchase%2C+sale%2C+use) -- How do you categorize these collocates of available ADJ+for: collection, consultation, hire, inspection, purchase, sale, use?
- Follow-up prompt: more broadly as a single category
These collocates for the phrase "available for" describe the status or intended function of an item or service. They can be categorized into three distinct functional groups: - 1. Acquisition & OwnershipThese words deal with obtaining an item permanently or temporarily.
- purchase: Buying the item entirely.
- sale: The item is actively being offered to the public to buy.
- hire: Renting or temporarily paying for the use of an item (e.g., equipment or a vehicle). [1]
2. General Use & AccessThese words refer to utilizing, seeing, or picking up an item without ownership transferring.- use: Operating, wearing, or otherwise engaging with an item.
- collection: Picking up an item that has been ordered, held, or reserved (e.g., mail, library holds).
- inspection: Viewing, examining, or auditing an item (e.g., checking property or documents). [1, 2, 3]
3. Professional ServicesThese collocates refer to seeking out expert information or guidance. - consultation: Meeting with a professional (like a doctor, lawyer, or technician) for advice or an assessment. [1]
- When these nouns follow "available for," they all describe the specific purpose, action, or commercial transaction that an object, place, or professional service is ready to undergo.
- If your tagging system only uses high-level, broad categories, ACTION (or ACTIVITY) is the correct choice. If your system allows for sub-tags, splitting them into COMMERCIAL ACTION (purchase, sale, hire) and PROCESS/UTILIZATION ACTION (use, inspection, collection, consultation) will give you much more accurate data.
- Which tagging framework or software are you currently utilizing (e.g., USAS, WordNet, or a custom LLM prompt)?
When you execute this script, WordNet will map the words to their broad semantic fields:
noun.act: This will emerge as the dominant common supersense. It perfectly unifies actions, executions, and transactions like purchase, use, inspection, sale, hire, and consultation.
