---1 Common: Structures with Common Implementations.
-
--- This module defines the categories that uniformly have the linearization
--- ${s : Str}$ in all languages.
-
--- Moreover, this module defines the abstract parameters of tense, polarity, and
--- anteriority, which are used in [``Phrase`` Phrase.html] to generate different
--- forms of sentences. Together they give 4 x 2 x 2 = 16 sentence forms.
-
--- These tenses are defined for all languages in the library. More tenses
--- can be defined in the language extensions, e.g. the "passé simple" of
--- Romance languages in [``ExtraRomance`` ../romance/ExtraRomance.gf].
