#list that combines all the elements that act as limits, indicating when the captures should end
list_limiting_elements = list_verbs + list_adverbs_of_manner + list_adverbs_of_time + list_limitant_words

print(repr(capture_where_capsule)) #--> output

I must capture within the encapsulation standard ((PL_ADVB)the text) , those strings that are after one of the elements of the list list_all_adverbs_of_place , which basically consists of a small list of adverbs indicating place. (the adverb must also be captured).

And the end of the capture can be after a pattern ((NOUN)some text here), and if it is not that pattern has to end if any of the elements of the list list_limiting_elements appear.

In this way, perform this restructuring of the input string so that it looks like this output, after using a re.sub(, , capture_where_capsule, flags = re.IGNORECASE)

"((PL_ADVB)alrededor ((NOUN)del auto rojizo, algo grande y completamente veloz)). Luego ((PL_ADVB)dentro del baúl) rápidamente ((PL_ADVB)abajo de una caja) ((PL_ADVB)por sobre ello) vimos una caña."

Keep in mind that an adverb from the list_limiting_elements list represents the beginning of the capture, but if there is a second adverb within the captured text, then this will act as an end limit.

  • Let's try to break it down to smaller tasks: 1. replace words that appear in list_all_adverbs_of_place with `((PL_ADVB)the text)`: This can be achieved with the following pattern and the re.sub function in python: `(adentro|dentro|al rededor|alrededor|abajo|hacía|hacia|por sobre|sobre)` The substitution string is: `(PL_ADVB)$1` demo: https://regex101.com/r/QuNRDi/1 2. now we want to encapsulate the result of the first task + the rest of the string: (re.sub again) `((?:adentro|dentro|al rededor|alrededor|abajo|hacía|hacia|por sobre|sobre)[^.]+)\. ` sub with ((PL_ADVB)$1). – O-O-O Feb 02 '23 at 15:43

    demo for 2 from my previous comment: https://regex101.com/r/g5nmwg/1 Is this going in the right direction? – O-O-O Feb 02 '23 at 15:47
  • @O-O-O works relatively well, although for some reason it doesn't cut the capture when it encounters the word "rápidamente" – Matt095 Feb 02 '23 at 16:46
