 Lexicon and Structural checked and completed by Jolene. Some open issues found by Jolene, hopefully to be fixed this week:
-  - generics for weather
-  - "something"
-  - relative clause with complex RP
-  - adjectives for animates
-  - weather verbs rather VP's
-  - markers 把(marker for direct-object), 被(marker for indirect-object)
-  - positions of the parts of Subj
-  - the three de particles: 的，地，得”
+  - generics for weather -> Extra
+  - "something" -> Extra (stg for event vs. physical object)
+  - relative clause with complex RP -> postpone; discontinuous?
+  - adjectives for animates -> leave to semantics (cf. Thai)
+  - weather verbs rather VP's -> leave to semantic lexicon
+  - markers 把(marker for direct-object), 被(marker for indirect-object) -> fix for V2A, V3 with ba
+  - positions of the parts of Subj -> fix by introducing particles before or after the subject of the main clause
+  - the three de particles: 的，地，得”-> OK now
      的 ： Adj/AP ++ "的" ++ NP                     
    “地”： Adv ++ “地” ++ V                     e.g. 飞快(fly fast)地(de)跑(run)
 “   得”： V ++ “得” ++ Adv(complement)         e.g. 跑(run)得(de)快(fast)
