3.4.3 Build Phrase Manually

Certain terms such as names and other pronouns may not always be properly segmented. You must build the phrase with the Build Phrase Manually method to add it into the phrase database.

For example, 洋基 is the name of a baseball team, but the name is broken down into two separate words: 洋 and 基. You can build the phrase manually by combining the two into one term 洋基 and then adding the word into the database.

Click the sentence 這裡有建仔代表洋基出戰天敵天使隊 in the article pane. In the Sentence Segmentation pane, the term 洋基 is split into two separate words 洋 and 基. In the Chinese pane, select and right-clcik 洋基. Click Build phrase to combine 洋 and 基 into one new term, 洋基.
