[CWB] show +no

[Hardie, Andrew]

Hi Jörg,

“no” is a reserved word in CQP – synonym of “off” for setting Boolean variables - so you can’t use it for a corpus or attribute name or CQP will complain.

To my knowledge, there’s no way of quoting corpus/attribute identifiers alas (conceivably there should be!).

List of reserved words is here… http://cwb.sourceforge.net/files/CQP_Tutorial/node51.html

Subject: [CWB] show +no


I have a Norwegian corpus with the name “no” that I want to include in my query for parallel data but cqp complains about

No alignment to 'no' found because:
CQP Error:
CQP Syntax Error: syntax error, unexpected NO_SYM, expecting ID

show +no; <--
Synchronizing until next ';'...
PARSE ERROR

Do I have to escape the name of the corpus somehow?

Jörg
