GF Resource Grammar Library Version 1.5
|
||||
|
||||
This will be the next release of the library.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have new contributions and bug fixes in 1.4 - please also carry over the changes
|
||||
in 1.5! Preferably, work directly with 1.5.
|
||||
|
||||
The Syntax and Paradigms APIs are supersets of the old ones - thus backward compatibility
|
||||
is guaranteed for applications using them. This of course with the reservation that, since
|
||||
the APIs may contain new functions, name clashes with other modules may result if names are
|
||||
not qualified.
|
||||
|
||||
Visible differences from 1.4:
|
||||
|
||||
- Cat, Noun : Quant and Art fused ; Quant has both substantival and adjectival forms. This
|
||||
is to eliminate the duplication of Quant and Art rules, and also to account for the different
|
||||
forms some quantifiers, have when the word stands alone vs. is attached to an adjective.
|
||||
For instance, in Italian, "that wine" is "quel vino", whereas "that" alone is "quello".
|
||||
|
||||
- CommonX, Sentence : Tense and Ant fused. This is to leave room for the radically different
|
||||
tense systems in different languages. However, the Syntax API still displays the
|
||||
two-dimensional tense structure.
|
||||
|
||||
- Mathematical is dropped as obsolete. Combinators and Symbolic together give a sufficient
|
||||
interface for this kind of applications.
|
||||
|
||||
- Combinators is included in Syntax.

||||
