Register or Login to view.I'm going to need the recommendation to use the Reference transliteration explaining: it doesn't indicate ambiguous spaces so the problem is invisible. But surely then the problem is only invisible to me, but still essentially present? The removed ambiguities are still there, but the resolution is no longer something I have to decide on?
I suppose, at least, it means that I don't need to consider the question. But I'm not sure how it's the better solution for anybody except me.
(Sorry if I have misunderstood.)

Register or Login to view.run all the analysis twice with options 1 and 2If you have the resources, I would recommend this and run the analysis both with all and without any spaces. But it is hard to assess without knowing your research goals - not that I am an expert on the matter anyway. The danger of choosing the method giving the most 'sensational' (but not necessarily useful) result is real but as long as you are consistent and make a clear argument for your choice, I see this as a minor problem. Ideally, research should always be focused on rejecting (or at least weighting the parsimony of) hypotheses, not 'proving' own beliefs. Unfortunately this is not the case with the vast majority or VM research as I need not tell you.

Register or Login to view.A good point to research is if uncertain spaces separate common n-grams or they are just ramdom.This is indeed a good starting point. I admit I have not looked into ambiguous spaces a lot but identifying patterns in their distribution might give some clues about their origin or purpose, if any. But I'd assume this has already been done?
