[. . . ] The entry is part of a sentence that is normally not expected as a dictionary entry and will therefore not be coded by IntuitiveCoding. The complete ent ry is very long and a part of the entry can be considered as a protected sequence that does not need specific analysis. The entry is incorrectly analyzed by IntuitiveCoding. Protecting the entry in conjunction with another clue will force the entry to res pect the clue without reporting a coding error. In that case, the morphology of the entry needs to be specified since prot ected sequences are considered as unknown by the IntuitiveCoding engine. Reserved characters within a protected sequence are naturally protected. Protected sequences should be used carefully. Protecting too many entries reduces coding quality. Entries may lose their inflection capability and their part of speech. · · · SYSTRAN 7 Application Packs User Guide 139 Bracketing Use brackets to help the IntuitiveCoding soft ware det ermine the appropriate structure of a multiword expression, or to apply a clue to one part of an expression. Multiple Meanings This type of ent ry can be used for words that have different meanings for different constructions, or which have equivalent meanings. When a same source entry has several meanings, the meanings are automatically combined during the translation and the selection of a meaning is based on the syntactic properties of the different meanings or on its position in the dictionary. For example, for verbal entries, it is possible to combine transitivity and intransitivity meanings for the same source entry. Equivalent Meanings If the translation has no rules to distinguish the different meanings, the additional meanings will appear in the alternative meanings.
