But person is --- not needed, since it is uniformly $NP3$. - - IntPron : Type = {s : NPForm => Str ; n : Number} ; - --- In analogy with relative pronouns, we have a rule for applying a function --- to a relative pronoun to create a new one. - - funIntPron : Function -> IntPron -> IntPron = \vaimo,kuka -> - {s = \\c => kuka.s ! vaimo.c ++ - vaimo.s ! False ! kuka.n ! npForm2Case kuka.n c ; - n = kuka.n - } ; - --- There is a variety of simple interrogative pronouns: --- "mikä talo" / "kuka mies", "kuka", "mikä". The construction with a noun --- is the reason why nouns in Finnish need a gender. - - nounIntPron : Number -> CommNounPhrase -> IntPron = \n, talo -> - {s = \\c => let {nc = npForm2Case n c} in - mikakukaInt ! talo.g ! n ! nc ++ talo.s ! False ! n ! nc ; - n = n - } ; - - intPronWho : Number -> IntPron = \num -> { - s = \\c => mikakukaInt ! Human ! num ! (npForm2Case num c) ; - n = num - } ; - - intPronWhat : Number -> IntPron = \num -> { - s = \\c => mikakukaInt ! NonHuman ! num ! (npForm2Case num c) ; - n = num - } ; - - ---2 Utterances - --- By utterances we mean complete phrases, such as --- 'can be used as moves in a language game': indicatives, questions, imperative, --- and one-word utterances. The rules are far from complete. --- --- N.B. we have not included rules for texts, which we find we cannot say much --- about on this level. In semantically rich GF grammars, texts, dialogues, etc, --- will of course play an important role as categories not reducible to utterances. --- An example is proof texts, whose semantics show a dependence between premises --- and conclusions. Another example is intersentential anaphora. - - Utterance = SS ; - - indicUtt : Sentence -> Utterance = \x -> ss (x.s ++ stopPunct) ; - interrogUtt : Question -> Utterance = \x -> ss (x.s ++ questPunct) ; - - ---2 Questions --- --- Questions are either direct or indirect, but the forms in Finnish are --- always identical. So we don't need a $QuestForm$ parameter as in other languages. - -oper - Question = SS ; - ---3 Yes-no questions --- --- Yes-no questions are formed by inversed predication, with the clitic "ko" / "kö" --- particle attached to the verb part of the verb phrase. - - questVerbPhrase : NounPhrase -> VerbPhrase -> Question = \jussi,ui -> - let {np = Ind jussi.n (np2Person jussi.p)} in - ss (ui.s ! np ++ koPart ++ jussi.s ! complementCase True ui.c Inf ++ ui.s2 ! np); - - ---3 Wh-questions --- --- Wh-questions are of two kinds: ones that are like $NP - VP$ sentences --- ("kuka ui?") others that are line $S/NP - NP$ sentences ("kenet sinä tapaat?"). - - intVerbPhrase : IntPron -> VerbPhrase -> Question = \kuka,ui -> - predVerbPhrase (kuka ** {p = NP3}) ui ; - - intSlash : IntPron -> SentenceSlashNounPhrase -> Question = \kuka,tapaat -> - ss (kuka.s ! NPCase tapaat.c ++ tapaat.s2 ++ tapaat.s) ; - - ---3 Interrogative adverbials --- --- These adverbials will be defined in the lexicon: they include --- "koska", "missä", "kuinka", "miksi", etc, which are all invariant one-word --- expressions. In addition, they can be formed by adding cases and postpositions --- to interrogative pronouns, in the same way as adverbials are formed --- from noun phrases; notice that even prepositions are used as postpositions --- when attached to interrogative pronouns. - - IntAdverb = SS ; - - prepIntAdverb : Str -> Case -> IntPron -> IntAdverb = \ennen,c,kuka -> - ss (kuka.s ! NPCase c ++ ennen) ; - --- A question adverbial can be applied to anything, and whether this makes --- sense is a semantic question. The syntax is very simple: just prefix the --- adverbial to the predication. - - questAdverbial : IntAdverb -> NounPhrase -> VerbPhrase -> Question = - \miksi, jussi, ui -> - cc2 miksi (predVerbPhrase jussi ui) ; - ---2 Imperatives --- --- We only consider second-person imperatives. - - Imperative = SS1 Number ; - - imperVerbPhrase : VerbPhrase -> Imperative = \ui -> - {s = \\n => ui.s ! Imper n ++ ui.s2 ! Imper n} ; - - imperUtterance : Number -> Imperative -> Utterance = \n,I -> - ss (I.s ! n ++ exclPunct) ; - ---2 Sentence adverbials --- --- This class covers adverbials such as "muuten", "siksi", which are prefixed --- to a sentence to form a phrase. - - advSentence : Adverb -> Sentence -> Utterance = \siksi,sataa -> - ss (siksi.s ++ sataa.s ++ ".") ; - - ---2 Coordination --- --- Coordination is to some extent orthogonal to the rest of syntax, and --- has been treated in a generic way in the module $CO$ in the file --- $coordination.gf$. The overall structure is independent of category, --- but there can be differences in parameter dependencies. --- ---3 Conjunctions --- --- Coordinated phrases are built by using conjunctions, which are either --- simple ("ja", "tai") or distributed ("sekä - että", "joko - tai"). --- --- The conjunction has an inherent number, which is used when conjoining --- noun phrases: "Jussi ja Mari ovat..." vs. "Jussi tai Mari on..."; in the --- case of "tai", the result is however plural if any of the disjuncts is. - - Conjunction = CO.Conjunction ** {n : Number} ; - ConjunctionDistr = CO.ConjunctionDistr ** {n : Number} ; - ---3 Coordinating sentences --- --- We need a category of lists of sentences. It is a discontinuous --- category, the parts corresponding to 'init' and 'last' segments --- (rather than 'head' and 'tail', because we have to keep track of the slot between --- the last two elements of the list). A list has at least two elements. - - ListSentence : Type = SD2 ; - - twoSentence : (_,_ : Sentence) -> ListSentence = CO.twoSS ; - - consSentence : ListSentence -> Sentence -> ListSentence = - CO.consSS CO.comma ; - --- To coordinate a list of sentences by a simple conjunction, we place --- it between the last two elements; commas are put in the other slots, --- e.g. "du rauchst, er trinkt und ich esse". - - conjunctSentence : Conjunction -> ListSentence -> Sentence = \c,xs -> - ss (CO.conjunctX c xs) ; - --- To coordinate a list of sentences by a distributed conjunction, we place --- the first part (e.g. "either") in front of the first element, the second --- part ("or") between the last two elements, and commas in the other slots. --- For sentences this is really not used. - - conjunctDistrSentence : ConjunctionDistr -> ListSentence -> Sentence = - \c,xs -> - ss (CO.conjunctDistrX c xs) ; - - ---3 Coordinating adjective phrases --- --- The structure is the same as for sentences. Parameters are passed to components. - - ListAdjPhrase : Type = - {s1,s2 : AdjPos => Number => Case => Str} ; - - twoAdjPhrase : (_,_ : AdjPhrase) -> ListAdjPhrase = \x,y -> - CO.twoTable3 AdjPos Number Case x y ; - - consAdjPhrase : ListAdjPhrase -> AdjPhrase -> ListAdjPhrase = \xs,x -> - CO.consTable3 AdjPos Number Case CO.comma xs x ; - - conjunctAdjPhrase : Conjunction -> ListAdjPhrase -> AdjPhrase = \c,xs -> - CO.conjunctTable3 AdjPos Number Case c xs ; - - conjunctDistrAdjPhrase : ConjunctionDistr -> ListAdjPhrase -> AdjPhrase = \c,xs -> - CO.conjunctDistrTable3 AdjPos Number Case c xs ; - - ---3 Coordinating noun phrases --- --- The structure is the same as for sentences. The result is either always plural --- or plural if any of the components is, depending on the conjunction. - - ListNounPhrase : Type = {s1,s2 : NPForm => Str ; n : Number ; p : NPPerson} ; - - twoNounPhrase : (_,_ : NounPhrase) -> ListNounPhrase = \x,y -> - CO.twoTable NPForm x y ** {n = conjNumber x.n y.n ; p = conjPerson x.p y.p} ; - - consNounPhrase : ListNounPhrase -> NounPhrase -> ListNounPhrase = \xs,x -> - CO.consTable NPForm CO.comma xs x ** - {n = conjNumber xs.n x.n ; p = conjPerson xs.p x.p} ; - - conjunctNounPhrase : Conjunction -> ListNounPhrase -> NounPhrase = \c,xs -> - CO.conjunctTable NPForm c xs ** {n = conjNumber c.n xs.n ; p = xs.p} ; - - conjunctDistrNounPhrase : ConjunctionDistr -> ListNounPhrase -> NounPhrase = - \c,xs -> - CO.conjunctDistrTable NPForm c xs ** {n = conjNumber c.n xs.n ; p = xs.p} ; - --- We have to define a calculus of numbers of persons. For numbers, --- it is like the conjunction with $Pl$ corresponding to $False$. - - conjNumber : Number -> Number -> Number = \m,n -> case <m,n> of { - <Sg,Sg> => Sg ; - _ => Pl - } ; - --- For persons, we let the latter argument win ("either you or I am absent" --- but "either I or you are absent"). This is not quite clear. - - conjPerson : NPPerson -> NPPerson -> NPPerson = \_,p -> - p ; - - - ---2 Subjunction --- --- Subjunctions ("kun", "jos", etc) --- are a different way to combine sentences than conjunctions. --- The main clause can be a sentences, an imperatives, or a question, --- but the subjoined clause must be a sentence. --- --- There are uniformly two variant word orders, e.g. --- "jos poltat minä suutun" --- and "minä suutun jos poltat". - - Subjunction = SS ; - - subjunctSentence : Subjunction -> Sentence -> Sentence -> Sentence = - \if, A, B -> - ss (subjunctVariants if A.s B.s) ; - - subjunctImperative : Subjunction -> Sentence -> Imperative -> Imperative = - \if, A, B -> - {s = \\n => subjunctVariants if A.s (B.s ! n)} ; - - subjunctQuestion : Subjunction -> Sentence -> Question -> Question = - \if, A, B -> - {s = subjunctVariants if A.s B.s} ; - - subjunctVariants : Subjunction -> Str -> Str -> Str = \if,A,B -> - variants {if.s ++ A ++ commaPunct ++ B ; B ++ commaPunct ++ if.s ++ A} ; - - subjunctVerbPhrase : VerbPhrase -> Subjunction -> Sentence -> VerbPhrase = - \V, if, A -> - adVerbPhrase V (ss (if.s ++ A.s)) ; - ---2 One-word utterances --- --- An utterance can consist of one phrase of almost any category, --- the limiting case being one-word utterances. These --- utterances are often (but not always) in what can be called the --- default form of a category, e.g. the nominative. --- This list is far from exhaustive. - - useNounPhrase : NounPhrase -> Utterance = \john -> - postfixSS stopPunct (defaultNounPhrase john) ; - - useCommonNounPhrase : Number -> CommNounPhrase -> Utterance = \n,car -> - useNounPhrase (indefNounPhrase n car) ; - --- Here are some default forms. - - defaultNounPhrase : NounPhrase -> SS = \john -> - ss (john.s !
