--1 Dutlish Lexical Paradigms -- -- Aarne Ranta 2003--2005 -- -- 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. -- -- Closed categories (determiners, pronouns, conjunctions) are -- accessed through the resource syntax API, Structural.gf. -- -- The main difference with MorphoDut.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 IrregularDut, which covers all irregularly inflected -- words. -- -- The following modules are presupposed:

resource ParadigmsDut = open (Predef=Predef), Prelude, MorphoDut, CatDut in { --2 Parameters -- -- To abstract over gender names, we define the following identifiers.

oper Gender : Type ;

human : Gender ; nonhuman : Gender ; masculine : Gender ; feminite : 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.

Preposition : Type ;

--2 Nouns

-- Worst case: give all four forms and the semantic gender.

mkN : (man,men,man's,men's : Str) -> N ;

-- 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),

regN : Str -> N ;

-- In practice the worst case is just: give singular and plural nominative.

mk2N : (man,men : Str) -> N ;

-- All nouns created by the previous functions are marked as -- nonhuman. If you want a human noun, wrap it with the following -- function:

genderN : Gender -> N -> N ;

--3 Compound nouns -- -- All the functions above work quite as well to form compound nouns, -- such as baby boom.

--3 Relational nouns -- -- Relational nouns (daughter of x) need a preposition.

mkN2 : N -> Preposition -> N2 ;

-- The most common preposition is of, and the following is a -- shortcut for regular, nonhuman relational nouns with of.

regN2 : Str -> N2 ;

-- Use the function mkPreposition 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 -> Preposition -> Preposition -> N3 ;

--3 Relational common noun phrases -- -- In some cases, you may want to make a complex CN into a -- relational noun (e.g. the old town hall of).

cnN2 : CN -> Preposition -> N2 ; cnN3 : CN -> Preposition -> Preposition -> N3 ;

-- --3 Proper names and noun phrases -- -- Proper names, with a regular genitive, are formed as follows

regPN : Str -> Gender -> PN ; -- John, John's

-- Sometimes you can reuse a common noun as a proper name, e.g. Bank.

nounPN : N -> PN ;

-- To form a noun phrase that can also be plural and have an irregular -- genitive, you can use the worst-case function.

mkNP : Str -> Str -> Number -> Gender -> NP ;

--2 Adjectives

-- Non-comparison one-place adjectives need two forms: one for -- the adjectival and one for the adverbial form (free - freely)

mkA : (free,freely : Str) -> A ;

-- For regular adjectives, the adverbial form is derived. This holds -- even for cases with the variation happy - happily.

regA : Str -> A ;

--3 Two-place adjectives -- -- Two-place adjectives need a preposition for their second argument.

mkA2 : A -> Preposition -> A2 ;

-- Comparison adjectives may two more forms.

ADeg : Type ;

mkADeg : (good,better,best,well : Str) -> ADeg ;

-- The regular pattern recognizes two common variations: -- -e (rude - ruder - rudest) and -- -y (happy - happier - happiest - happily)

regADeg : Str -> ADeg ; -- long, longer, longest

-- However, the duplication of the final consonant is nor predicted, -- but a separate pattern is used:

duplADeg : Str -> ADeg ; -- fat, fatter, fattest

-- If comparison is formed by more, //most, as in general for// -- long adjective, the following pattern is used:

compoundADeg : A -> ADeg ; -- -/more/most ridiculous

-- From a given ADeg, it is possible to get back to A.

adegA : ADeg -> A ;

--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 PPs in the resource API, just requires a string.

mkPreposition : Str -> Preposition ; mkPrep : Str -> Prep ;

-- (These two functions are synonyms.)

--2 Verbs -- -- 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 ;

-- The regular verb function recognizes the special cases where the last -- character is y (cry - cries but buy - buys) or s, sh, x, z -- (fix - fixes, etc).

regV : Str -> V ;

-- The following variant duplicates the last letter in the forms like -- rip - ripped - ripping.

regDuplV : Str -> V ;

-- There is an extensive list of irregular verbs in the module IrregularDut. -- In practice, it is enough to give three forms, -- e.g. drink - drank - drunk, with a variant indicating consonant -- duplication in the present participle.

irregV : (drink, drank, drunk : Str) -> V ; irregDuplV : (get, got, gotten : Str) -> V ;

--3 Verbs with a particle. -- -- The particle, such as in switch on, is given as a string.

partV : V -> Str -> 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 : V -> Preposition -> V2 ;

dirV2 : V -> V2 ;

--3 Three-place verbs -- -- Three-place (ditransitive) verbs need two prepositions, of which -- the first one or both can be absent.

mkV3 : V -> Str -> Str -> V3 ; -- speak, with, about dirV3 : V -> Str -> 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 -> Str -> V2S ; mkVV : V -> VV ; mkV2V : V -> Str -> Str -> V2V ; mkVA : V -> VA ; mkV2A : V -> Str -> V2A ; mkVQ : V -> VQ ; mkV2Q : V -> Str -> V2Q ;

mkAS : A -> AS ; mkA2S : A -> Str -> A2S ; mkAV : A -> AV ; mkA2V : A -> Str -> A2V ;

-- Notice: categories V2S, V2V, V2A, V2Q are in v 1.0 treated -- just as synonyms of V2, and the second argument is given -- as an adverb. Likewise AS, A2S, AV, A2V are just A. -- V0 is just V.

V0, V2S, V2V, V2A, V2Q : Type ; AS, A2S, AV, A2V : Type ;
