+--1 A Small Predication Library
+--
+-- (c) Aarne Ranta 2003-2006 under Gnu GPL.
+--
+-- This library is a derived library built on the language-independent Ground
+-- API of resource grammars.

+--2 The category of atomic sentences
+
+-- We want to use sentences in positive and negative forms but do not care about
+-- tenses.

+ PosCl : Cl -> S ; -- positive sentence: "x intersects y"
+ NegCl : Cl -> S ; -- negative sentence: "x doesn't intersect y"

+--2 Predication patterns.
+
+ predV : V -> NP -> Cl ; -- one-place verb: "x converges"
+ predV2 : V2 -> NP -> NP -> Cl ; -- two-place verb: "x intersects y"
+ predV3 : V3 -> NP->NP-> NP -> Cl; -- three-place verb: "x intersects y at z"
+ predVColl : V -> NP -> NP -> Cl ; -- collective verb: "x and y intersect"
+ predA : A -> NP -> Cl ; -- one-place adjective: "x is even"
+ predA2 : A2 -> NP -> NP -> Cl ; -- two-place adj: "x is divisible by y"
+ predAComp : A -> NP -> NP -> Cl; -- comparative adj: "x is greater than y"
+ predAColl : A -> NP -> NP -> Cl ; -- collective adj: "x and y are parallel"
+ predN : N -> NP -> Cl ; -- one-place noun: "x is a point"
+ predN2 : N2 -> NP -> NP -> Cl ; -- two-place noun: "x is a divisor of y"
+ predNColl : N -> NP -> NP -> Cl ; -- collective noun: "x and y are duals"
+ predAdv : Adv -> NP -> Cl ; -- adverb: "x is inside"
+ predPrep : Prep -> NP -> NP -> Cl ; -- preposition: "x is outside y"

+ appN3 : N3 -> NP -> NP -> NP ; -- two-place function: "the distance from x to y"
+ appColl : N2 -> NP -> NP -> NP ; -- collective function: "the sum of x and y"

+
+-- These are expressed by relational nouns applied to arguments.

+ famN3 : N3 -> NP -> NP -> CN ; -- two-place family: "path from x to y"

+--2 Type constructor
+
+-- This is similar to a family except that the argument is a type.
+
+ typN2 : N2 -> CN -> CN ; -- constructed type: "list of integers"
