Nested repeated particle

no-doubled-joshion by default (info)Japanese

The same Japanese particle repeated, so what attaches to what is unclear

Example

Flagged

1:3 「の」が読点を挟まずに 3 回続いています(2 回まで)
Fixed

How to fix

Split the sentence, or rephrase so the attachment is explicit.

Why it matters

When the same particle repeats without a break, the reader cannot tell which phrase attaches to which. Items separated by punctuation are not counted. Nor are particles inside a title or a quotation in 「」 or 『』, which the writer cannot rephrase; the quotation as a whole is read as one noun.

What it does not flag

Items separated by commas, phrases separated by =, a colon or an arrow, titles or quotations inside 「」 or 『』, the title of an outside page quoted by a link at a line's head, and the の before an honorific for a group of people when that form of address goes on with の (国民の皆様の期待, 被災者の方々の暮らし), are not counted.
