Does NLTK (or any other Python natural language module) have the ability to determine the order of multiple modifier adjectives? For example:
metal round huge bowl (incorrect)
huge round metal bowl (correct)
Copied and formatted from the link, the order is given by:
- Opinion: An opinion adjective explains what you think about something (other people may not agree with you). For example: silly, beautiful, horrible, difficult.
- Size: A size adjective, tells you how big or small something is. For example: large, tiny, enormous, little.
- Age: An age adjective tells you how young or old something or someone is. For example: ancient, new, young, old.
- Shape: A shape adjective describes the shape of something. For example: square, round, flat, rectangular.
- Color A color adjective, of course, describes the color of something. For example: blue, pink, reddish, grey.
- Origin An origin adjective describes where something comes from. For example: French, lunar, American, eastern, Greek.
- Material A material adjective describes what something is made from. For example: wooden, metal, cotton, paper.
- Purpose A purpose adjective describes what something is used for. These adjectives often end with “-ing”. For example: sleeping (as in “sleeping bag”), roasting (as in “roasting tin”)
In the example above, the correct order would be [size,shape,material]
