<h1> GF Resource Grammar API for Structural Words</h1>
AR 21/11/2003
<p>
Here we have some words belonging to closed classes and appearing
in all languages we have considered.
Sometimes they are not really meaningful, e.g. <tt>TheyNP</tt> in French
should really be replaced by masculine and feminine variants.

should be treated by the use of many-place verbs, adjectives, and
functions.
