---1 A Small Finnish Resource Syntax
---
--- Aarne Ranta 2003
---
--- This resource grammar contains definitions needed to construct
--- indicative, interrogative, and imperative sentences in Finnish.
---
--- The following files are presupposed:
-
-resource SyntaxFin = MorphoFin ** open Prelude, (CO = Coordination) in {
-
---2 Common Nouns
---
--- Simple common nouns are defined as the type $CommNoun$ in $MorphoFin$.
-
---3 Common noun phrases
-
--- In Finnish, common noun phrases behave like simple common nouns, except that
--- we need a kind of a *gender* parameter telling if the noun is human or not.
--- This parameter regulates determiners such as "joku"/"jokin" ('some') and
--- "kuka"/"mikä" ('which').
---
--- A subtle reason forces us to distinguish the parameters of common noun phrases
--- from those of morphological common nouns: the parameter value $NPossNom$ is
--- syntactically applicable to each of $Sg Nom$, $Pl Nom$, $Sg Gen$. In morphology,
--- these forms are always the same ("autoni"), but with complex common nouns, we
--- have three different forms: "iso autoni", "isot autoni", "ison autoni".

---2 Noun phrases
---
--- Two forms of *virtual accusative* are needed for nouns in singular,
--- the nominative and the genitive one ("ostan talon"/"osta talo").
--- For nouns in plural, only a nominative accusative exist. Pronouns
--- have a uniform, special accusative form ("minut", etc).
-
-param
- NPForm = NPCase Case | NPAccNom | NPAccGen ;
-
--- The *person* of a noun phrase is also special, to steer the use of
--- possessive suffixes. It expresses a distinction between pronominal and
--- non-pronominal noun phrases. The pronominal ones impose possessive suffixes
--- in genitival constructions ("minun taloni", "hänen talonsa"), the non-pronominal
--- ones don't ("Jussin talo"). As for verbal agreement, non-pronominal noun
--- phrases are third-person.

--- that is given to the noun that is being determined.

--- Genitives of noun phrases can be used like determiners, to build noun phrases.
--- The number argument makes the difference between "Jussin talo" - "Jussin talot".
--- The NP person of the 'owner' decides if there is a possessive suffix.
-
- npGenDet : Number -> NounPhrase -> CommNounPhrase -> NounPhrase = \n,jussi,talo ->
- {s = \\c => jussi.s ! NPCase Gen ++
- ifPossSuffix talo jussi.p jussi.n (npForm2Case n c) ;

- } ;
-
--- *Bare plural noun phrases*, like "koivut" in "koivut ovat valkoisia",
--- are similar to definite plurals.
-
- plurDet : CommNounPhrase -> NounPhrase = pluralNounPhrase ;
-
--- Constructions like "huomio että kaksi on parillinen" are formed at the
--- first place as common nouns, so that one can also have
--- "kaikki ehdotukset että...".

- {s = \\p,n,c => idea.s ! p ! n ! c ++ "että" ++ x.s ;
- g = idea.g
- } ;
-
---2 Adjectives
---
--- Adjectival phrases are used either as attributes or in predicative position.
--- In the attributive position, all cases occur; in the predicative position, only
--- the nominative, partitive, translative, and essive - but we ignore this
--- restriction for simplicity. The important thing with the parameter is to
--- regulate the word order of complex adjectival phrases: cf. predicative
--- "(kuusi on) jaollinen kolmella" vs. attributive "kolmella jaollinen (luku)".
--- In comparatives, the whole construction is affected: "suurempi kuin kolme"
--- vs. "kolmea suurempi". (Actually, in the predicative position, the two
--- are in free variation, the distinguished one being the normal choice:
--- "kuusi on kolmella jaollinen" is possible, but not quite neutral.)
-
-param
- AdjPos = APred | AAttr ;
-
-oper
- AdjPhrase : Type = {s : AdjPos => Number => Case => Str} ;
-
- adj2adjPhrase : Adjective -> AdjPhrase = \uusi ->
- {s = \\_,n,c => uusi.s ! NCase n c} ;
-
-
---3 Comparison adjectives
---
--- Each of the comparison forms has a characteristic use:
---
--- Positive forms are used alone, as adjectival phrases ("iso").
-
- positAdjPhrase : AdjDegr -> AdjPhrase = \iso ->
- adj2adjPhrase {s = iso.s ! Pos} ;
-
--- Comparative forms are used with an object of comparison, as
--- adjectival phrases ("isompi kuin te"/"teitä isompi").
-
- comparAdjPhrase : AdjDegr -> NounPhrase -> AdjPhrase = \iso, te ->
- {s = let {teitaisompi : Number => Case => Str =
- \\n,c => te.s ! NPCase Part ++ iso.s ! Comp ! NCase n c} in
- table {
- APred => variants {
- \\n,c => iso.s ! Comp ! NCase n c ++ kuinConj ++ te.s ! NPCase Nom ;
- teitaisompi
- } ;
- AAttr => teitaisompi
- }
- } ;
-
--- Superlative forms are used with a modified noun, picking out the
--- maximal representative of a domain ("isoin talo").
-
- superlNounPhrase : AdjDegr -> CommNounPhrase -> NounPhrase = \iso,talo ->
- {s = \\np => let {c = npForm2Case Sg np} in
- iso.s ! Sup ! NCase Sg c ++ talo.s ! False ! Sg ! c ;
- n = Sg ;
- p = NP3
- } ;
-
---3 Two-place adjectives
---
--- A two-place adjective is an adjective with a case used after (or before)
--- the complement. The case can be the genitival accusative, which is different
--- in the singular and the plural ("rajan ylittävä"/"rajat ylittävä").
--- The order of the adjective and its argument depends on the case: the local
--- cases favour Adj + Noun in the predicative position ("hyvä painissa",
--- "tyytyväinen vaalitulokseen", "jaollinen kolmella"), which is not a possible
--- order for the accusative case.
-
- AdjCompl = Adjective ** {c : NPForm} ;
-
- complAdj : AdjCompl -> NounPhrase -> AdjPhrase = \hyva,paini ->
- let {
- hyvat : Number => Case => Str = \\n,c => hyva.s ! NCase n c ;
- painissa : Str = paini.s ! hyva.c
- }
- in
- {s = table {
- AAttr => \\n,c => painissa ++ hyvat ! n ! c ;
- APred => \\n,c => if_then_else Str
- (isLocalNPForm hyva.c)
- (variants {
- hyvat ! n ! c ++ painissa ;
- painissa ++ hyvat ! n ! c
- }
- )
- (painissa ++ hyvat ! n ! c)
- }
- } ;
-
- isLocalNPForm : NPForm -> Bool = \c -> case c of {
- NPCase Iness => True ;
- NPCase Elat => True ;
- NPCase Illat => True ;
- NPCase Adess => True ;
- NPCase Ablat => True ;
- NPCase Allat => True ;
- _ => False
- } ;
-
-
---3 Modification of common nouns
---
--- The two main functions of adjective are in predication ("Jussi on iso")
--- and in modification ("iso mies"). Predication will be defined
--- later, in the chapter on verbs.
---
--- Modification uses the attributive form of an adjectival phrase.
--- The adjective always comes before the noun. The possessive suffix is
--- given to the noun.
-
- modCommNounPhrase : AdjPhrase -> CommNounPhrase -> CommNounPhrase = \iso,mies ->
- {s = \\p,n,c => iso.s ! AAttr ! n ! c ++ mies.s ! p ! n ! c ;
- g = mies.g
- } ;
-
---2 Function expressions
-
--- A function expression is a common noun together with the
--- case taken by its argument ("x'n vaimo").
--- The type is analogous to two-place adjectives and transitive verbs;
--- but here the genitive is by far the commonest case. The possessive suffix
--- is then needed with pronominal arguments.
-
- Function = CommNounPhrase ** {c : NPForm} ;
-
--- The application of a function gives, in the first place, a common noun:
--- "Jussi vaimo/vaimot". From this, other rules of the resource grammar
--- give noun phrases, such as "Jussi vaimo", "Jussin vaimot",
--- "Jussin ja Marin äidit", and "Jussin ja Marin äiti" (the
--- latter two corresponding to distributive and collective functions,
--- respectively). Semantics will eventually tell when each
--- of the readings is meaningful.
-
- appFunComm : Function -> NounPhrase -> CommNounPhrase = \vaimo, jussi ->
- {s = \\p,n,c => case vaimo.c of {
- NPCase Gen => jussi.s ! NPCase Gen ++
- ifPossSuffix vaimo jussi.p jussi.n c ;
- h => vaimo.s ! False ! n ! c ++ jussi.s ! h
- } ;
- g = vaimo.g
- } ;
-
--- Notice the switched word order in other cases than the genitive, e.g.
--- "veli Jussille".
---
--- It is possible to use a function word as a common noun; the semantics is
--- often existential or indexical.
-
- funAsCommNounPhrase : Function -> CommNounPhrase = \x -> x ;
-
--- The following is an aggregate corresponding to function application
--- producing "John's mother" and "the mother of John". It does not appear in the
--- resource grammar API as a primitive.
-
- appFun : Bool -> Function -> NounPhrase -> NounPhrase = \coll, vaimo,jussi ->
- let {n = jussi.n ; nf = if_then_else Number coll Sg n} in
- npGenDet nf jussi vaimo ;
-
--- The commonest case is functions with the genitive case.
-
- funGen : CommNounPhrase -> Function = \vaimo ->
- vaimo ** {c = NPCase Gen} ;
-
--- Two-place functions add one argument place.
-
- Function2 = Function ** {c2 : NPForm} ;
-
--- There application starts by filling the first place.
-
- appFun2 : Function2 -> NounPhrase -> Function = \juna, turku ->
- {s = \\p,n,c => juna.s ! False ! n ! c ++ turku.s ! juna.c ;
- g = juna.g ;
- c = juna.c2
- } ;
-
-
---2 Verbs
---
---3 Verb phrases
---
--- Verb phrases are discontinuous: the two parts of a verb phrase are
--- (s) an inflected verb, (s2) a complement.
--- For instance: "on" - "kaunis" ; "ei" - "ole kaunis" ; "sisältää" - "rikkiä".
--- Moreover, a subject case is needed, because of passive and 'have' verb
--- phrases ("minä uin" ; "minut valitaan" ; "minua odotetaan" ; "minulla on jano").
-
- VerbPhrase = Verb ** {s2 : VForm => Str ; c : ComplCase} ;
-
--- The normal subject case is the nominative.
-
- nomVerbPhrase : (Verb ** {s2 : VForm => Str}) -> VerbPhrase = \v ->
- v ** {c = CCase Nom} ;
-
--- From the inflection table, we select the finite form as function
--- of person and number:
-
- indicVerb : Verb -> Person -> Number -> Str = \v,p,n ->
- v.s ! Ind n p ;
-
--- A simple verb can be made into a verb phrase with an empty complement, e.g.
--- "ui" - [].
--- There are two versions, depending on if we want to negate the verb.
--- In the negated form, the negative verb "ei" becomes the verb, and the
--- complement is a special infinite form of the verb (usually similar to the
--- 2nd person singular imperative): "ei" - "ui".
---
--- N.B. negation is *not* a function applicable to a verb phrase, since
--- double negations with "ei" are not grammatical.
-
- predVerb : Bool -> Verb -> VerbPhrase = \b,walk ->
- let {
- noCompl : {s2 : VForm => Str} = {s2 = \\_ => []} ;
- infCompl : {s2 : VForm => Str} = {s2 = table {
- Imper Pl => walk.s ! ImpNegPl ;
- _ => walk.s ! vFormNeg
- }
- }
- }
- in
- if_then_else VerbPhrase b
- (nomVerbPhrase (walk ** noCompl))
- (nomVerbPhrase (verbEi ** infCompl)) ;
-
--- (N.B. local definitions workaround for poor type inference in GF 1.2).
-
--- Sometimes we want to extract the verb part of a verb phrase. Not strictly
--- necessary since this is a consequence of record subtyping.
-
- verbOfPhrase : VerbPhrase -> Verb = \v -> {s = v.s} ;
-
--- Verb phrases can also be formed from adjectives ("on vanha"),
--- common nouns ("on mies"), and noun phrases ("on Jussi").
--- The third rule is overgenerating: "on jokainen mies" has to be ruled out
--- on semantic grounds.
---
--- For adjectives and common nouns, notice the case difference in the complement
--- depending on number: "on kaunis" - "ovat kauniita". We ignore the forms
--- "on kaunista", used with mass terms, and "ovat kauniit", used in
--- constructions of the "plurale tantum" kind. The adjective rule can be defined
--- in terms of the common noun rule.

-
---3 Transitive verbs
---
--- Transitive verbs are verbs with a case and, possibly, a preposition
--- or a postposition for the complement,
--- in analogy with two-place adjectives and functions.
--- One might prefer to use the term "2-place verb", since
--- "transitive" traditionally means that the inherent preposition is empty.
--- Such a verb is one with a *direct object*.

-
--- N.B. If the case is accusative, it becomes partitive in negated verb phrases.
--- The choice between the nominative and genitive accusatives depends on the verb
--- form.

- mkTransVerbDir : Verb -> TransVerb = \ostaa ->
- ostaa ** {s3 = [] ; s4 = [] ; c = CAcc} ;

---

---2 Sentences

--- Sentences are not inflected in this fragment of Finnish without tense.
-
- Sentence : Type = SS ;
-
--- This is the traditional $S -> NP VP$ rule. It takes care of

---2 Sentences missing noun phrases
---
--- This is one instance of Gazdar's *slash categories*, corresponding to his
--- $S/NP$.
--- We cannot have - nor would we want to have - a productive slash-category former.
--- Perhaps a handful more will be needed.
---
--- Notice that the slash category has a similar relation to sentences as
--- transitive verbs have to verbs: it's like a *sentence taking a complement*.
---
--- Interestingly, the distinction between prepositions and postpositions
--- neutralizes: even prepositions are attached after relative and interrogative
--- pronouns: "jota ennen" cf. "ennen talvea". Otherwise, the category and
--- the rules are very similar to transitive verbs. Notice that the case gets
--- fixed by the Boolean parameter and the subject.
-
- SentenceSlashNounPhrase = Sentence ** {s2 : Str ; c : Case} ;
-
- slashTransVerb : Bool -> NounPhrase -> TransVerb -> SentenceSlashNounPhrase =
- \b,jussi,ostaa ->
- predVerbPhrase jussi (predVerb b ostaa) ** {

---2 Relative pronouns and relative clauses
---
--- As described in $types.Fin.gf$, relative pronouns are inflected like
--- common nouns, in number and case.
---
--- We get the simple relative pronoun "joka" from $morpho.Fin.gf$.
-
- identRelPron : RelPron = relPron ;
-
- funRelPron : Function -> RelPron -> RelPron = \vaimo, joka ->
- {s = \\n,c => joka.s ! n ! npForm2Case n vaimo.c ++ vaimo.s ! False ! n ! c} ;
-
--- Relative clauses can be formed from both verb phrases ("joka ui") and
--- slash expressions ("jonka sinä näet", "jonka kautta sinä käyt").
-
- RelClause : Type = {s : Number => Str} ;
-
- relVerbPhrase : RelPron -> VerbPhrase -> RelClause = \joka,ui ->
- {s = \\n => joka.s ! n ! npForm2Case n (complementCase True ui.c Inf) ++
- ui.s ! Ind n P3 ++ ui.s2 ! Ind n P3} ;
-
- relSlash : RelPron -> SentenceSlashNounPhrase -> RelClause = \joka,saat ->
- {s = \\n => joka.s ! n ! saat.c ++ saat.s2 ++ saat.s} ;
-
--- A 'degenerate' relative clause is the one often used in mathematics, e.g.
--- "luku x siten että x on parillinen".
-
- relSuch : Sentence -> RelClause = \A ->
- {s = \\_ => advSiten ++ conjEtta ++ A.s} ;
-
--- N.B. the construction "sellainen että" is not possible with the present
--- typing of the relative clause, since it should also be inflected in
--- case. Ordinary relative clauses have a fixed case.
---
--- The main use of relative clauses is to modify common nouns.
--- The result is a common noun, out of which noun phrases can be formed
--- by determiners. We use no comma before these relative clauses, even though
--- conservative standard Finnish does.
-
- modRelClause : CommNounPhrase -> RelClause -> CommNounPhrase = \mies,jokaui ->
- {s = \\b,n,c => mies.s ! b ! n ! c ++ jokaui.s ! n ;
- g = mies.g
- } ;
-
--- N.B: the possessive suffix, if attached here, comes to wrong place! Solution:
--- make $CommNounPhrase$ discontinuos.
-
-
---2 Interrogative pronouns
---
--- If relative pronouns are like common nouns (and adjectives),
--- interrogative pronouns are like noun phrases, having a fixed number.
--- They also need to handle an NP-like accusative case. 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} ;

-
- 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.
