[CWB] CQPweb and MWUs

[Hardie, Andrew]

This issue turns out to be a subtle and obscure bug in CQPweb: the space is used as the delimiter for tokens when splitting apart tokens with tags.

I have tried to find a quick fix for this, but there is no easy way to get this to work – it’s going to require ripping out and writing significant chunks of the rendering code, which is on my list for some point beyond the CWBv4 horizon…

The [UNREADABLE] marker means that the word-and-tag output from CQP was malformed and was not able to be transformed into the correct HTML by CQPweb.

It doesn’t happen when you have no primary annotation, because then CQPweb does not need to attempt to distinguish words from tags in the CQP output, so the transformation is an easy one.

If you send me (off-list) a sample of your input vertical text file,  I will take a quick look to see if I can spot the problem.

Dear all,
I'm using CQPweb (version 3.1.13) with a corpus of Italian. My annotation includes MWUs, so that I have lines of my texts like this:

a piedi \t ADV \t a_piedi

After installing the corpus, if I set "pos" as primary annotation in the "Annotation setup for CEQL queries", all the MWUs are visualized as [UNREADABLE]. The problem is fixed if I don't use primary or secondary annotations for CEQL queries.
Is there a way to solve this problem, and to use CEQL having at the same time MWUs visualized?

Thank you for your help,
Stefania
