<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">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!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">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)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
