Description

Complements of נָתַן

Subject

A special case in the quest for valence patterns: נָתַן with Pred + Objc + Cmpl.

Topic

Which of the phrases marked as Cmpl are locatives and which are indirect object?

Query

This query only extracts the set of candidates, further analysis of them is done in a corresponding LAF-Fabric notebook

MQL technique

Two things complicate the otherwise straightforward formulation of this query:

We look for htree phrases in any order, and MQL requires that we write out all orders explicitly
We want all the words of the phrase marked as Cmpl. If we just say [word]* there are many spurious matches, because we did not say that these words should be all words of the complement. So we must use the keywords first and last, but then we have also the case that there is only one word, which should be first and last.

So the body of this query has become a bit monstrous.
