I have been developing a similar annotation for Italian derivational
morphology, but with different positional attributes for the annotation. I
provided seven 'pa's', one for the lexical base and the other six for the
derivational processes (wfp). For instance, the English word 'joyfulness' will
be annotated as follows:
FORM BASE 1wfp 2wfp
joyfulness joy:word ful:features ness:features
where each slot has its own features, for instance 'stem allomorphy' for the
base:
joy:word
or 'affix allomorphy' for the wfp1.For instance, in the Italian word
'volgare', the suffix -ale is instantiated by the allomorph -are:
ale:are
It is easy to query cqp for all words containing the base 'joy':
[base="joy:.*"]
or for affix combinations:
[wfp1="ful.*" & wfp2="ness.*"]
I then suggest to change 'positional attributes' to something else... :-)
