--# -path=.:../abstract:../../prelude --1 English Lexical Paradigms -- -- Aarne Ranta 2003 -- -- This is an API to the user of the resource grammar -- for adding lexical items. It give shortcuts for forming -- expressions of basic categories: nouns, adjectives, verbs. -- -- Closed categories (determiners, pronouns, conjunctions) are -- accessed through the resource syntax API, $resource.Abs.gf$. -- -- 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 as string -- arguments of the paradigms, not stems. -- -- The following modules are presupposed: resource Paradigms = open (Predef=Predef), Prelude, Syntax, English in { --2 Parameters -- -- To abstract over gender names, we define the following identifiers. oper human : Gender ; nonhuman : Gender ; -- To abstract over number names, we define the following. singular : Number ; plural : Number ; --2 Nouns -- Worst case: give all four forms and the semantic gender. -- In practice the worst case is just: give singular and plural nominative. oper mkN : (man,men,man's,men's : Str) -> Gender -> N ; nMan : (man,men : Str) -> Gender -> N ; -- Regular nouns, nouns ending with "s", "y", or "o", and nouns with the same -- plural form as the singular. nReg : Str -> Gender -> N ; -- dog, dogs nKiss : Str -> Gender -> N ; -- kiss, kisses nFly : Str -> Gender -> N ; -- fly, flies nHero : Str -> Gender -> N ; -- hero, heroes (= nKiss !) nSheep : Str -> Gender -> N ; -- sheep, sheep -- These use general heuristics, that recognizes the last letter. *N.B* it -- does not get right with "boy", "rush", since it only looks at one letter. nHuman : Str -> N ; -- gambler/actress/nanny nNonhuman : Str -> N ; -- dog/kiss/fly -- Nouns used as functions need a preposition. The most common is "of". mkFun : N -> Preposition -> Fun ; funHuman : Str -> Fun ; -- the father/mistress/daddy of funNonhuman : Str -> Fun ; -- the successor/address/copy of -- Proper names, with their regular genitive. pnReg : (John : Str) -> PN ; -- John, John's -- The most common cases on the top level havee shortcuts. -- The regular "y"/"s" variation is taken into account in $CN$. cnNonhuman : Str -> CN ; cnHuman : Str -> CN ; npReg : Str -> NP ; -- In some cases, you may want to make a complex $CN$ into a function. mkFunCN : CN -> Preposition -> Fun ; funOfCN : CN -> Fun ; --2 Adjectives -- Non-comparison one-place adjectives just have one form. mkAdj1 : (even : Str) -> Adj1 ; -- Two-place adjectives need a preposition as second argument. mkAdj2 : (divisible, by : Str) -> Adj2 ; -- Comparison adjectives have three forms. The common irregular -- cases are ones ending with "y" and a consonant that is duplicated. mkAdjDeg : (good,better,best : Str) -> AdjDeg ; aReg : (long : Str) -> AdjDeg ; -- long, longer, longest aHappy : (happy : Str) -> AdjDeg ; -- happy, happier, happiest aFat : (fat : Str) -> AdjDeg ; -- fat, fatter, fattest aRidiculous : (ridiculous : Str) -> AdjDeg ; -- -/more/most ridiculous -- On top level, there are adjectival phrases. The most common case is -- just to use a one-place adjective. apReg : Str -> AP ; --2 Verbs -- -- The fragment now has all verb forms, except the gerund/present participle. -- Except for "be", the worst case needs four forms: the infinitive and -- the third person singular present, the past indicative, and the past participle. mkV : (go, goes, went, gone : Str) -> V ; vReg : (walk : Str) -> V ; -- walk, walks vKiss : (kiss : Str) -> V ; -- kiss, kisses vFly : (fly : Str) -> V ; -- fly, flies vGo : (go : Str) -> V ; -- go, goes (= vKiss !) -- This generic function recognizes the special cases where the last -- character is "y", "s", or "z". It is not right for "finish" and "convey". vGen : Str -> V ; -- walk/kiss/fly -- The verbs "be" and "have" are special. vBe : V ; vHave : V ; -- Verbs with a particle. vPart : (go, goes, went, gone, up : Str) -> V ; vPartReg : (get, up : Str) -> V ; -- Two-place verbs, and the special case with direct object. -- Notice that a particle can already be included in $V$. mkTV : V -> Str -> TV ; -- look for, kill tvGen : (look, for : Str) -> TV ; -- look for, talk about tvDir : V -> TV ; -- switch off tvGenDir : (kill : Str) -> TV ; -- kill -- Regular two-place verbs with a particle. tvPartReg : Str -> Str -> Str -> TV ; -- get, along, with -- The definitions should not bother the user of the API.
