Adding Polish to informath (grammars/next) exposed a set of gaps. Unlike
Czech, StructuralPol was already complete; what was missing was a handful
of lins, a way to govern the nominative, and some outright mistakes.
Missing lins, all reached as qualified Grammar.X by the application's
functors and so not shimmable from the application side:
AdjectivePol AdvAP
SentencePol SSubjS
IdiomPol ImpP3
StructuralPol that_Subj
MarkupPol new module (Markup is not part of the RGL build script,
so it is compiled on demand, as MarkupCze is)
ParadigmsPol mkAdv (every other ParadigmsX has it; the application
interfaces reach it as Paradigms.mkAdv)
ImpP3 has no third-person imperative to use, so it takes the standard
"niech" periphrasis. The copula takes the future ("niech x będzie grupą")
and every other verb the present ("niech x należy do A"): być is the only
Polish verb with a synthetic future, and imienne marks exactly the copular
VPs.
NomPrep: ComplCase had no nominative at all, so "jako", "niż" and
"zdefiniowany jako" -- all of which govern the nominative -- came out
locative ("mniejszy niż liczbie"). mkCompl now maps Nom to a new NomPrep,
and the dep tables of the pronouns, nounPN, mkPN and the structural NPs
cover it. LexiconNounPol is marked DO NOT EDIT, but paris_PN and john_PN
inline their own dep tables and so had to be extended too.
Two corrections:
VerbPol.CompCN used the nominative for a predicative noun, giving
"x jest grupa"; Polish uses the instrumental, as CompNP right below it
already does.
ExtendPol.ExistsNP inherited ExistNP from ExtendFunctor, giving
"jest macierz". Polish distinguishes the two: "there exists" is istnieć,
which is what mathematical prose uses.
ParadigmsPol.guess_paradigm_basic never matched -ość, the productive
feminine abstract suffix, so sprzeczność took a masculine declension
(*sprzeczności/a, *sprzecznościowi) despite being tagged feminine. It now
routes to the kość paradigm.
Also documents, without changing, why the 2-string mkN throws its genitive
away: guess_paradigm's 2-string table is unsound (its first branch matches
every noun in -a, and its branches disagree about whether mkNTable* takes
the nominative or the bare stem), so passing sggen to it turns
"liczba"/"liczby" into *liczbaa. The 1-string guesser is the sound path
until that table is repaired.
