Replacements in LASSY files

[JeltevanBoheemen]

In LASSY XML files (Alpino parses), make a script that replaces attribute-value pairs based on client-specified python dictionary.

Current dictionary:
REPLACEMENTS = { 'eh': { 'search': {'lemma': 'eh', 'word': 'eh'}, 'remove': ['genus', 'getal', 'graad', 'naamval', 'ntype'], 'edit': {'postag': 'TSW()', 'pt': 'tsw', 'pos': 'tag'} }, 'uh': { 'search': {'lemma': 'eh', 'word': 'uh'}, 'remove': ['genus', 'getal', 'graad', 'naamval', 'ntype'], 'edit': {'postag': 'TSW()', 'pt': 'tsw', 'pos': 'tag'} }, 'xxx': { 'search': {'word': 'xxx'}, 'keep_only': ['begin', 'end', 'pos', 'root', 'postag', 'pt', 'lemma', 'word', 'sense', 'rel', 'id'], 'edit': {'pos': 'tag', 'postag': 'SPEC(onverst)', 'pt': 'spec', 'spectype': 'onverst'} }, 'yyy': { 'search': {'word': 'yyy'}, 'keep_only': ['begin', 'end', 'pos', 'root', 'postag', 'pt', 'lemma', 'word', 'sense', 'rel', 'id'], 'edit': {'pos': 'tag', 'postag': 'SPEC(onverst)', 'pt': 'spec', 'spectype': 'onverst'} }, 'NA()': { 'search': {'postag': 'NA()'}, 'edit': {'postag': 'TSW()', 'pt': 'tsw', 'pos': 'tag'} } }

Operations:

• search specifies attribute-value pairs that should produce the nodes on which to apply the other operations. In case of multiple, all should apply.

• remove specifies attributes that should be discarded

• keep_only is the opposite of remove, only keep these attributes

• edit replaces the attribute with the new attribute-value pair
