This module defines the categories that uniformly have the linearization
|
|
<CODE>{s : Str}</CODE> in all languages.
|
|
Moreover, this module defines the abstract parameters of tense, polarity, and
|
|
anteriority, which are used in <A HREF="Phrase.html"><CODE>Phrase</CODE></A> 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 <I>passé simple</I> of
|
|
Romance languages in <A HREF="../romance/ExtraRomance.gf"><CODE>ExtraRomance</CODE></A>.
