This is an API to the user of the resource grammar
|
||||
for adding lexical items. It gives functions for forming
|
||||
expressions of open categories: nouns, adjectives, verbs.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Closed categories (determiners, pronouns, conjunctions) are
|
||||
accessed through the resource syntax API, <CODE>Structural.gf</CODE>.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
The main difference with <CODE>MorphoIta.gf</CODE> 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.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
The structure of functions for each word class <CODE>C</CODE> is the following:
|
||||
first we give a handful of patterns that aim to cover all
|
||||
regular cases. Then we give a worst-case function <CODE>mkC</CODE>, which serves as an
|
||||
escape to construct the most irregular words of type <CODE>C</CODE>.
|
||||
However, this function should only seldom be needed: we have a
|
||||
separate module <CODE>IrregularEng</CODE>, which covers all irregularly inflected
|
||||
words.

||||

To abstract over gender names, we define the following identifiers.

To abstract over number names, we define the following.

Prepositions used in many-argument functions are either strings
|

(including the 'accusative' empty string) or strings that
|
||||
amalgamate with the following word (the 'genitive' <I>de</I> and the
|

'dative' <I>à</I>).

The regular function takes the singular form and the gender,
|
||||
and computes the plural and the gender by a heuristic.
|
||||
The heuristic says that the gender is feminine for nouns
|
||||
ending with <I>a</I>, and masculine for all other words.

<H3>Compound nouns</H3>

Some nouns are ones where the first part is inflected as a noun but
|

the second part is not inflected. e.g. <I>numéro de téléphone</I>.
|

They could be formed in syntax, but we give a shortcut here since

they are frequent in lexica.

<H3>Relational common noun phrases</H3>

<P>
|

In some cases, you may want to make a complex <CODE>CN</CODE> into a
|
||||
relational noun (e.g. <I>the old town hall of</I>). However, <CODE>N2</CODE> and
|
||||
<CODE>N3</CODE> are purely lexical categories. But you can use the <CODE>AdvCN</CODE>
|
||||
and <CODE>PrepNP</CODE> constructions to build phrases like this.

<H2>Adjectives</H2>

Non-comparison one-place adjectives need five forms in the worst

These functions create postfix adjectives. To switch

Regular verbs are ones with the infinitive <I>er</I> or <I>ir</I>, the

latter with plural present indicative forms as <I>finissons</I>.
