3.4.4 Redo Phrase Segmentation
Phrases built in one particular sentence will not be automatically combined in other
sentences. Phrase building only combines words and terms in the current sentence. If the
term appears in other sentences, use the Redo phrase segmentation command to quickly
combine them all.
For example, in section 3.4.3 we constructed a new term by combining words 洋 and 基
in the sentence 這裡有建仔代表洋基出戰天敵天使隊 and added it to the term database.
When clicking the sentence 終場洋基12：0大勝天使, 洋基 is still two separate words and
not one single term. In this situation the Redo phrase segmentation command is available.
Simply click the
button to redo phrase segment the sentence and combine 洋 and 基
into the term 洋基.
Note: The Penpower Chinese Expert comes with an extensive pre-defined term database
and when manually constructed terms are assigned, they rank lower than terms
already existing in the database. If a manually constructed term is a part of a larger
default term, the Redo Phrase Segmentation function can’t be performed on other
sentences in the article that contain this term manually construted term. For ex-
ample, the default system term database already contains this term 天長地久. If you
manually build the term 天長 in a certain sentence so that it is now two separate
terms 天長 and 地久, you won’t be able to use the Redo Phrase Segmentation com-
mand to separate 天長地久 in other sentences.
