--1 Common: Structures with Common Implementations.
|
|
|
|
-- This module defines the categories that uniformly have the linearization
|
|
-- ${s : Str}$ in all languages.
|
|
|
|
-- Moreover, this module defines the abstract parameters of tense, polarity, and
|
|
-- anteriority, which are used in [``Phrase`` Phrase.html] to generate different
|
|
-- forms of sentences. Together they give 4 x 2 x 2 = 16 sentence forms.
|
|
|
|
-- These tenses are defined for all languages in the library. More tenses
|
|
-- can be defined in the language extensions, e.g. the "passé simple" of
|
|
-- Romance languages in [``ExtraRomance`` ../romance/ExtraRomance.gf].
