Remove the grammars directory. It was full of old grammars that don't compile these days. See the old source distributions if you want them.

Each new application helped to identify some --- missing structures in the resource and suggested some additions, but the --- number of them was usually small. --- --- To use the resource in applications, you need the following --- $cat$ and $fun$ rules in $oper$ form, completed by taking the --- $lincat$ and $lin$ judgements of a particular language. This is done --- by using, instead of this module, the $reuse$ module which has the name --- $ResourceX$ - -abstract Combinations = PredefAbs ** { ---! ---2 Categories --- --- The categories of this resource grammar are mostly 'standard' categories --- of linguistics. Their is no claim that they correspond to semantic categories --- definable in type theory: to define such correspondences is the business --- of applications grammars. In general, the correspondence between linguistic --- and semantic categories is many-to-many. --- --- Categories that may look special are $Adj2$, $Fun$, and $TV$. They are all --- instances of endowing another category with a complement, which can be either --- a direct object (whose case may vary) or a prepositional phrase. Prepositional --- phrases that are not complements belong to the category --- $AdV$ of adverbials. --- --- In each group below, some categories are *lexical* in the sense of only --- containing atomic elements. These elements are not necessarily expressed by --- one word in all languages; the essential thing is that they have no --- constituents. Thus they have no productions in this part of the --- resource grammar. The $ParadigmsX$ grammars provide ways of defining --- lexical elements. --- --- Lexical categories are listed before other categories --- in each group and divided by an empty line. - ---! ---3 Nouns and noun phrases --- - -cat - N ; -- simple common noun, e.g. "car" - PN ; -- proper name, e.g. "John", "New York" - Fun ; -- function word, e.g. "mother (of)" - Fun2 ; -- two-place function, e.g. "flight (from) (to)" - - CN ; -- common noun phrase, e.g. "red car", "car that John owns" - NP ; -- noun phrase, e.g. "John", "all cars", "you" - Det ; -- determiner, e.g. "every", "all" - Num ; -- numeral, e.g. "three", "879" - ---! ---3 Adjectives and adjectival phrases --- - - Adj1 ; -- one-place adjective, e.g. "even" - Adj2 ; -- two-place adjective, e.g. "divisible (by)" - AdjDeg ; -- degree adjective, e.g. "big/bigger/biggest" - - AP ; -- adjective phrase, e.g. "divisible by two", "bigger than John" - --- The difference between $Adj1$ and $AdjDeg$ is that the former has no --- comparison forms. - ---! ---3 Verbs and verb phrases --- - - V ; -- one-place verb, e.g. "walk" - TV ; -- two-place verb, e.g. "love", "wait (for)", "switch on" - V3 ; -- three-place verb, e.g. "give", "prefer (stg) (to stg)" - VS ; -- sentence-compl. verb, e.g. "say", "prove" - VV ; -- verb-compl. verb, e.g. "can", "want" - - VG ; -- verbal group, e.g. "switch the light on" - VP ; -- verb phrase, e.g. "switch the light on", "don't run" - ---! ---3 Adverbials --- --- This group has no lexical categories. - - AdV ; -- adverbial e.g. "now", "in the house" - AdA ; -- ad-adjective e.g. "very" - AdS ; -- sentence adverbial e.g. "therefore", "otherwise" - Prep ; -- pre/postposition, case e.g. "after", Adessive - ---! ---3 Sentences and relative clauses --- --- This group has no lexical categories. - - S ; -- sentence, e.g. "John walks" - Slash ; -- sentence without NP, e.g. "John waits for (...)" - RP ; -- relative pronoun, e.g. "which", "the mother of whom" - RC ; -- relative clause, e.g. "who walks", "that I wait for" - ---! ---3 Questions and imperatives --- --- This group has no lexical categories. - - IP ; -- interrogative pronoun, e.g. "who", "whose mother", "which yellow car" - IAdv ; -- interrogative adverb., e.g. "when", "why" - Qu ; -- question, e.g. "who walks" - Imp ; -- imperative, e.g. "walk!" - ---! ---3 Coordination and subordination --- - - Conj ; -- conjunction, e.g. "and" - ConjD ; -- distributed conj. e.g. "both - and" - Subj ; -- subjunction, e.g. "if", "when" - - ListS ; -- list of sentences - ListAP ; -- list of adjectival phrases - ListNP ; -- list of noun phrases - ---! ---3 Complete utterances --- --- This group has no lexical categories. - - Phr ; -- full phrase, e.g. "John walks.","Who walks?", "Wait for me!" - Text ; -- sequence of phrases e.g. "One is odd.

Each list category has two constructors, the base case being $TwoX$. - --- We have not defined coordination of all possible categories here, --- since it can be tricky in many languages.
