+--1 Abstract Syntax for Multilingual Resource Grammar
+--
+-- Aarne Ranta 2002 -- 2003
+--
+-- Although concrete syntax differs a lot between different languages,
+-- many structures can be found that are common, on a certain level
+-- of abstraction. What we will present in the following is an abstract 
+-- syntax that has been successfully defined for English, Finnish, French, German, 
+-- Italian, Russian, and Swedish. It has been applied to define language
+-- fragments on technical or near-to-technical domains: database queries,
+-- video recorder dialogue systems, software specifications, and a 
+-- health-related phrase book. Each new application helped to identify some
+-- missing structures in the resource and suggested some additions, but the
+-- number of them was usually small.
+-- 
+-- To use the resource in applications, you need the following 
+-- $cat$ and $fun$ rules in $oper$ form, completed by taking the
+-- $lincat$ and $lin$ judgements of a particular language. This is done
+-- by using the $reuse$ module with the desired concrete syntax of
+-- $ResAbs$ as argument.
+
+
+--2 Categories
+--
+-- The categories of this resource grammar are mostly 'standard' categories
+-- of linguistics. Their is no claim that they correspond to semantic categories
+-- definable in type theory: to define such correspondences is the business
+-- of applications grammars.
+--
+-- Categories that may look special are $Adj2$, $Fun$, and $TV$. They are all
+-- instances of endowing another category with a complement, which can be either
+-- a direct object (whose case may vary) or a prepositional phrase. This, together
+-- with the category $Adv$, removes the need of a category of 
+-- 'prepositional phrases', which is too language-dependent to make sense
+-- on this level of abstraction.

+--3 Coordination
+--
+-- We consider "n"-ary coordination, with "n" > 1. To this end, we have introduced
+-- a *list category* $ListX$ for each category $X$ whose expressions we want to
+-- conjoin. Each list category has two constructors, the base case being $TwoX$.
+
+-- We have not defined coordination of all possible categories here,
+-- since it can be tricky in many languages. For instance, $VP$ coordination
+-- is linguistically problematic in German because $VP$ is a discontinuous
+-- category.
+
+  ConjS  : Conj -> ListS -> S ;            -- "John walks and Mary runs"
+  ConjAP : Conj -> ListAP -> AP ;          -- "even and prime"

+  ConjDAP : ConjD -> ListAP -> AP ;        -- "both even and prime"

+
+  TwoS  : S -> S -> ListS ;
+  ConsS : ListS -> S -> ListS ;
+
+  TwoAP  : AP -> AP -> ListAP ;
+  ConsAP : ListAP -> AP -> ListAP ;
+
+  TwoNP  : NP -> NP -> ListNP ;
+  ConsNP : ListNP -> NP -> ListNP ;
+
+--3 Subordination
+--
+-- Subjunctions are different from conjunctions, but form
+-- a uniform category among themselves.
+
+  SubjS     : Subj -> S -> S -> S ;        -- "if 2 is odd, 3 is even"
+  SubjImper : Subj -> S -> Imp -> Imp ;    -- "if it is hot, use a glove!"
+  SubjQu    : Subj -> S -> Qu -> Qu ;      -- "if you are new, who are you?"
+  SubjVP    : VP -> Subj -> S -> VP ;      -- "(a man who) sings when he runs"
+
+--2 One-word utterances
+--
+-- These are, more generally, *one-phrase utterances*. The list below
+-- is very incomplete.
+
+  PhrNP : NP -> Phr ;                      -- "Some man.", "John."
+  PhrOneCN, PhrManyCN : CN -> Phr ;        -- "A car.", "Cars."
+  PhrIP : IAdv -> Phr ;                    -- "Who?"
+  PhrIAdv : IAdv -> Phr ;                  -- "Why?"
+
+--2 Text formation
+--
+-- A text is a sequence of phrases. It is defined like a non-empty list.
+  
+  OnePhr  : Phr -> Text ;
+  ConsPhr : Phr -> Text -> Text ;
+
+--2 Examples of structural words
+-- 
+-- Here we have some words belonging to closed classes and appearing
+-- in all languages we have considered.
+-- Sometimes they are not really meaningful, e.g. $TheyNP$ in French
