Feature description

The appositioncontainer feature indicates whether a word group or phrase contains an apposition. An apposition is a grammatical construction where two elements, typically noun phrases, are placed side by side, with one element serving to define or modify the other.

Feature values

Frequency for nodetype wg (used in wg-view):

Value	Description	Frequency
<empty>	This word group contains no appositioncontainer	104960
1	This word group contains an appositioncontainer	1908

Frequency for nodetype phrase (used in syntax-view):

Value	Description	Frequency
<empty>	This phrase contains no appositioncontainer	68292
1	This phrase contains an appositioncontainer	715

Frequency for nodetype subphrase (used in syntax-view):

Value	Description	Frequency
<empty>	This subphrase contains no appositioncontainer	115047
1	This subphrase contains an appositioncontainer	1908

Note

This feature functions as a pseudo-boolean variable. To find all word groups that do not contain an apposition container, use the following snippet:

Query = '''
wg 
   appositioncontainer#1
'''
Results = A.search(Query)

Replace the expression ‘#1’ with ‘=1’ to find all word groups containing an apposition container.

The following image presents a nested apposition, demonstrating both this feature and the related feature rela.

Source description

This feature is derived from the (optional) XML attribute appositioncontainer of tag wg (wordgroup).
