--1 Cat: the Category System
|
|
|
|
-- The category system is central to the library in the sense
|
|
-- that the other modules ($Adjective$, $Adverb$, $Noun$, $Verb$ etc)
|
|
-- communicate through it. This means that a e.g. a function using
|
|
-- $NP$s in $Verb$ need not know how $NP$s are constructed in $Noun$:
|
|
-- it is enough that both $Verb$ and $Noun$ use the same type $NP$,
|
|
-- which is given here in $Cat$.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Some categories are inherited from [``Common`` Common.html].
|
|
-- The reason they are defined there is that they have the same
|
|
-- implementation in all languages in the resource (typically,
|
|
-- just a string). These categories are
|
|
-- $AdA, AdN, AdV, Adv, Ant, CAdv, IAdv, PConj, Phr$,
|
|
-- $Pol, SC, Tense, Text, Utt, Voc$.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Moreover, the list categories $ListAdv, ListAP, ListNP, ListS$
|
|
-- are defined on $Conjunction$ and only used locally there.
