[CWB] Suggestion: user intervention in constructing an index

[Blätte, Andreas]

Dear colleagues,

following the discussion on glue, my technical understanding would be that using a s-attribute (<g/>) is technically not possible, as self-closing elements are not possible. A structural attribute minimally needs to wrap one token. Please correct me, if I am wrong!

So a binary p-attribute may be an option. Huffman coding may ensure that using a p-attribute to indicate where tokens should be glued may be fairly memory efficient. The implementation of the corpus library (using cl_cpos2id) ensures that the computational cost would be fairly modest.

Andrew’s argument was that it would contravene the logic of CQP to have it implemented there. You may know the R layer (package ‘polmineR’) I use for working with CQP. The time investment to implement using a p-attribute for gluing output (for concordances) would be very modest. But does anybody know / use polmineR (at CRAN, and github.com/PolMine/polmineR)?

Kind regards, and happy Easter
Andreas
