--1 English Lexical Paradigms
--
-- Aarne Ranta 2003--2005
--
-- This is an API for the user of the resource grammar
-- for adding lexical items. It gives functions for forming
-- expressions of open categories: nouns, adjectives, verbs.
--
-- Closed categories (determiners, pronouns, conjunctions) are
-- accessed through the resource syntax API, $Structural.gf$.
--
-- The main difference with $MorphoEng.gf$ is that the types
-- referred to are compiled resource grammar types. We have moreover
-- had the design principle of always having existing forms, rather
-- than stems, as string arguments of the paradigms.
--
-- The structure of functions for each word class $C$ is the following:
-- first we give a handful of patterns that aim to cover all
-- regular cases. Then we give a worst-case function $mkC$, which serves as an
-- escape to construct the most irregular words of type $C$.
-- However, this function should only seldom be needed: we have a
-- separate module [``IrregEng`` ../../english/IrregEng.gf],
-- which covers irregular verbss.

--2 Parameters
--
-- To abstract over gender names, we define the following identifiers.
oper
Gender : Type ;
human : Gender ;
nonhuman : Gender ;
masculine : Gender ;
feminine : Gender ;
-- To abstract over number names, we define the following.
Number : Type ;
singular : Number ;
plural : Number ;
-- To abstract over case names, we define the following.
Case : Type ;
nominative : Case ;
genitive : Case ;
-- Prepositions are used in many-argument functions for rection.
-- The resource category $Prep$ is used.
--2 Nouns
-- Nouns are constructed by the function $mkN$, which takes a varying
-- number of arguments.
mkN : overload {
-- The regular function captures the variants for nouns ending with
-- "s","sh","x","z" or "y": "kiss - kisses", "flash - flashes";
-- "fly - flies" (but "toy - toys"),
mkN : (flash : Str) -> N ;
-- In practice the worst case is to give singular and plural nominative.
mkN : (man,men : Str) -> N ;
-- The theoretical worst case: give all four forms.
mkN : (man,men,man's,men's : Str) -> N ;
-- Change gender from the default $nonhuman$.
mkN : Gender -> N -> N ;
--3 Compound nouns
--
-- A compound noun is an uninflected string attached to an inflected noun,
-- such as "baby boom", "chief executive officer".
mkN : Str -> N -> N
} ;
--3 Relational nouns
--
-- Relational nouns ("daughter of x") need a preposition.
mkN2 : N -> Prep -> N2 ;
-- The most common preposition is "of", and the following is a
-- shortcut for regular relational nouns with "of".
regN2 : Str -> N2 ;
-- Use the function $mkPrep$ or see the section on prepositions below to
-- form other prepositions.
--
-- Three-place relational nouns ("the connection from x to y") need two prepositions.
mkN3 : N -> Prep -> Prep -> N3 ;
--3 Proper names and noun phrases
--
-- Proper names, with a regular genitive, are formed from strings.
mkPN : overload {
mkPN : Str -> PN ;
-- Sometimes a common noun can be reused as a proper name, e.g. "Bank"
mkPN : N -> PN
} ;
--2 Adjectives
mkA : overload {
-- For regular adjectives, the adverbial and comparison forms are derived. This holds
-- even for cases with the variations "happy - happily - happier - happiest",
-- "free - freely - freer - freest", and "rude - rudest".
mkA : (happy : Str) -> A ;
-- However, the duplication of the final consonant cannot be predicted,
-- but a separate case is used to give the comparative
mkA : (fat,fatter : Str) -> A ;
-- As many as four forms may be needed.
mkA : (good,better,best,well : Str) -> A
} ;
-- To force comparison to be formed by "more - most",
-- the following function is used:
compoundA : A -> A ; -- -/more/most ridiculous
--3 Two-place adjectives
--
-- Two-place adjectives need a preposition for their second argument.
mkA2 : A -> Prep -> A2 ;
--2 Adverbs
-- Adverbs are not inflected. Most lexical ones have position
-- after the verb. Some can be preverbal (e.g. "always").
mkAdv : Str -> Adv ;
mkAdV : Str -> AdV ;
-- Adverbs modifying adjectives and sentences can also be formed.
mkAdA : Str -> AdA ;
--2 Prepositions
--
-- A preposition as used for rection in the lexicon, as well as to
-- build $PP$s in the resource API, just requires a string.
mkPrep : Str -> Prep ;
noPrep : Prep ;
-- (These two functions are synonyms.)
--2 Verbs
--
-- Verbs are constructed by the function $mkV$, which takes a varying
-- number of arguments.
mkV : overload {
-- The regular verb function recognizes the special cases where the last
-- character is "y" ("cry-cries" but "buy-buys") or a sibilant
-- ("kiss-"kisses", "jazz-jazzes", "rush-rushes", "munch - munches",
-- "fix - fixes").
mkV : (cry : Str) -> V ;
-- Give the present and past forms for regular verbs where
-- the last letter is duplicated in some forms,
-- e.g. "rip - ripped - ripping".
mkV : (stop, stopped : Str) -> V ;
-- There is an extensive list of irregular verbs in the module $IrregularEng$.
-- In practice, it is enough to give three forms,
-- e.g. "drink - drank - drunk".
mkV : (drink, drank, drunk : Str) -> V ;
-- Irregular verbs with duplicated consonant in the present participle.
mkV : (run, ran, run, running : Str) -> V ;
-- Except for "be", the worst case needs five forms: the infinitive and
-- the third person singular present, the past indicative, and the
-- past and present participles.
mkV : (go, goes, went, gone, going : Str) -> V
};
-- Verbs with a particle.
-- The particle, such as in "switch on", is given as a string.
partV : V -> Str -> V ;
-- Reflexive verbs.
-- By default, verbs are not reflexive; this function makes them that.
reflV : V -> V ;
--3 Two-place verbs
--
-- Two-place verbs need a preposition, except the special case with direct object.
-- (transitive verbs). Notice that a particle comes from the $V$.
mkV2 : overload {
mkV2 : V -> Prep -> V2 ; -- believe in
mkV2 : V -> V2 -- kill
};
--3 Three-place verbs
--
-- Three-place (ditransitive) verbs need two prepositions, of which
-- the first one or both can be absent.
mkV3 : V -> Prep -> Prep -> V3 ; -- speak, with, about
dirV3 : V -> Prep -> V3 ; -- give,_,to
dirdirV3 : V -> V3 ; -- give,_,_
--3 Other complement patterns
--
-- Verbs and adjectives can take complements such as sentences,
-- questions, verb phrases, and adjectives.
mkV0 : V -> V0 ;
mkVS : V -> VS ;
mkV2S : V -> Prep -> V2S ;
mkVV : V -> VV ;
mkV2V : V -> Prep -> Prep -> V2V ;
mkVA : V -> VA ;
mkV2A : V -> Prep -> V2A ;
mkVQ : V -> VQ ;
mkV2Q : V -> Prep -> V2Q ;
mkAS : A -> AS ;
mkA2S : A -> Prep -> A2S ;
mkAV : A -> AV ;
mkA2V : A -> Prep -> A2V ;
-- Notice: Categories $V0, AS, A2S, AV, A2V$ are just $A$.
-- $V0$ is just $V$; the second argument is treated as adverb.
V0 : Type ;
AS, A2S, AV, A2V : Type ;
