--1 Constructors: the Resource Syntax API --# notminimal

incomplete resource Constructors = open Grammar in {  

  flags optimize=noexpand ;  

-- This module gives access to the syntactic constructions of the
-- GF Resource Grammar library. Its main principle is simple:
-- to construct an object of type $C$, use the function $mkC$.
--
-- For example, an object of type $S$ corresponding to the string
--
-- $John loves Mary$
--
-- is written
--
-- $mkS (mkCl (mkNP (mkPN "John")) (mkV2 "love") (mkNP (mkPN "Mary")))$
--
-- This module defines the syntactic constructors, which take trees as arguments.
-- Lexical constructors, which take strings as arguments, are defined in the
-- $Paradigms$ modules separately for each language.
--
-- The recommended usage of this module is via the wrapper module $Syntax$, 
-- which also contains the $Structural$ (structural words). 
-- Together with $Paradigms$, $Syntax$ gives everything that is needed
-- to implement the concrete syntax for a language.

--2 Principles of organization --# notminimal

-- To make the library easier to grasp and navigate, we have followed
-- a set of principles when organizing it:
-- + Each category $C$ has an overloaded constructor $mkC$, with value type $C$.
-- + With $mkC$, it is possible to construct any tree of type $C$, except
--   atomic ones, i.e. those that take no arguments, and
--   those whose argument types are exactly the same as in some other instance
-- + To achieve completeness, the library therefore also has
--   for each atomic tree of type $C$, a constant suffixed $C$, and,
--   for other missing constructions, some operation suffixed $C$.
--   These constructors are listed immediately after the $mkC$ group.
-- + Those atomic constructors that are given in $Structural$ are not repeated here.
-- + In addition to the minimally complete set of constructions, many $mkC$ groups
--   include some frequently needed special cases, with two possible logics:
--   default value (to decrease the number of arguments), and
--   direct arguments of an intervening constructor (to flatten the terms).
-- + If such a special case is applied to some category in some rule, it is
--   also applied to all other rules in which the category appears.
-- + The constructors in a group are listed, roughly, 
--   *from the most common to the most general*. This does not of course specify
--   a total order. 
-- + Optional argument types are marked in parentheses. Although parentheses make no
--   difference in the way the GF compiler treats the types, their presence indicates
--   to the reader that the corresponding arguments can be left out; internally, the
--   library has an overload case for each such combination.
-- + Each constructor case is equipped with an example that is built by that
--   case but could not be built with any other one.

--2 Texts, phrases, and utterances --# notminimal

--3 Text: texts --# notminimal

-- A text is a list of phrases separated by punctuation marks.
-- The default punctuation mark is the full stop, and the default
-- continuation of a text is empty.

  oper   
    mkText : overload { --# notminimal
      mkText : Phr ->                      Text ; -- 1. But John walks. --# notminimal
      mkText : Phr -> (Punct) -> (Text) -> Text ; -- 2. John walks? Yes. --# notminimal

-- A text can also be directly built from utterances, which in turn can
-- be directly built from sentences, present-tense clauses, questions, or
-- positive imperatives. 

      mkText : Utt ->  Text ;  -- 3. John. --# notminimal
      mkText : S   ->  Text ;  -- 4. John walked. --# notminimal
      mkText : Cl  ->  Text ;  -- 5. John walks. --# notminimal
      mkText : QS  ->  Text ;  -- 6. Did John walk? --# notminimal
      mkText : Imp ->  Text ;  -- 7. Walk! --# notminimal

-- Finally, two texts can be combined into a text.

      mkText : Text -> Text -> Text ;  -- 8. Where? When? Here. Now! --# notminimal

      } ; --# notminimal

-- A text can also be empty.

      emptyText :      Text ;  -- 8. (empty text) --# notminimal


--3 Punct: punctuation marks --# notminimal

-- There are three punctuation marks that can separate phrases in a text.

      fullStopPunct  : Punct ;  -- . --# notminimal
      questMarkPunct : Punct ;  -- ? --# notminimal
      exclMarkPunct  : Punct ;  -- ! --# notminimal

--3 Phr: phrases in a text --# notminimal

-- Phrases are built from utterances by adding a phrasal conjunction
-- and a vocative, both of which are by default empty.

    mkPhr : overload { --# notminimal
      mkPhr :            Utt ->          Phr ;  -- 1. why --# notminimal
      mkPhr : (PConj) -> Utt -> (Voc) -> Phr ;  -- 2. but why John --# notminimal


-- A phrase can also be directly built by a sentence, a present-tense
-- clause, a question, or a positive singular imperative. 

      mkPhr : S   ->  Phr ; -- 3. John walked --# notminimal
      mkPhr : Cl  ->  Phr ; -- 4. John walks --# notminimal
      mkPhr : QS  ->  Phr ; -- 5. did John walk --# notminimal

      } ; --# notminimal

--3 PConj, phrasal conjunctions --# notminimal

-- Any conjunction can be used as a phrasal conjunction.
-- More phrasal conjunctions are defined in $Structural$.

      mkPConj : Conj -> PConj ;  -- 1. and --# notminimal

--3 Voc, vocatives --# notminimal

-- Any noun phrase can be turned into a vocative.
-- More vocatives are defined in $Structural$.

      mkVoc : NP -> Voc ;   -- 1. John --# notminimal

--3 Utt, utterances --# notminimal

-- Utterances are formed from sentences, clauses, questions, and positive singular imperatives.

    mkUtt : overload { --# notminimal
      mkUtt : S   -> Utt ;  -- 1. John walked --# notminimal
      mkUtt : Cl  -> Utt ;  -- 2. John walks --# notminimal

      mkUtt : QCl -> Utt ;  -- 4. does John walk --# notminimal
      mkUtt : Imp -> Utt ;  -- 5. love yourself --# notminimal

-- Imperatives can also vary in $ImpForm$ (number/politeness) and 
-- polarity.

      mkUtt : (ImpForm) -> (Pol) -> Imp -> Utt ;  -- 5. don't love yourselves --# notminimal

-- Utterances can also be formed from interrogative phrases and
-- interrogative adverbials, noun phrases, adverbs, and verb phrases.

      mkUtt : IP   ->  Utt ;  -- 6. who --# notminimal
      mkUtt : IAdv ->  Utt ;  -- 7. why --# notminimal
      mkUtt : NP   ->  Utt ;  -- 8. John --# notminimal
      mkUtt : Adv  ->  Utt ;  -- 9. here --# notminimal

-- Common noun phrases can be formed from relational nouns by providing arguments.

      mkCN : N2 -> NP ->       CN ; -- 2. mother of John --# notminimal
      mkCN : N3 -> NP -> NP -> CN ; -- 3. distance from this city to Paris --# notminimal

-- Relational nouns can also be used without their arguments.

      mkCN : N2 -> CN ;   -- 4. son --# notminimal
      mkCN : N3 -> CN ;   -- 5. flight --# notminimal

-- A common noun phrase can be modified by adjectival phrase. We give special 
-- cases of this, where one or both of the arguments are atomic.

      mkCN : A  -> N   -> CN ;   -- 6. big house --# notminimal
      mkCN : A  -> CN  -> CN ;   -- 7. big blue house --# notminimal
      mkCN : AP -> N   -> CN ;   -- 8. very big house --# notminimal
      mkCN : AP -> CN  -> CN ;   -- 9. very big blue house --# notminimal

-- A common noun phrase can be modified by a relative clause or an adverb.

      mkCN : N  -> RS  -> CN ;   -- 10. house that John loves --# notminimal
      mkCN : CN -> RS  -> CN ;   -- 11. big house that John loves --# notminimal
      mkCN : N  -> Adv -> CN ;   -- 12. house in the city --# notminimal
      mkCN : CN -> Adv -> CN ;   -- 13. big house in the city --# notminimal

-- For some nouns it makes sense to modify them by sentences, 
-- questions, or infinitives. But syntactically this is possible for
-- all nouns.

      mkCN : CN -> S   -> CN ;   -- 14. rule that John walks --# notminimal

-- for building a question sentence directly from a clause, using the defaults
-- present, simultaneous, and positive.

-- The latter uses the 'slash' category of objectless clauses 
-- (see below); we give the common special case with a two-place verb.

      mkQCl : IP -> VP ->       QCl ;  -- 2. who walks --# notminimal

      mkQCl : Prep -> IP -> Cl -> QCl ;   -- 6. with who does John walk --# notminimal

-- An interrogative adverbial can serve as the complement of a copula.

-- More interrogative adverbs are given in $Structural$.


--3 RS, relative sentences --# notminimal

-- Just like a sentence $S$ is built from a clause $Cl$,

      mkClSlash : NP -> V2 -> ClSlash ;  -- 1. (whom) John loves --# notminimal

-- The two-place verb can be separated from the subject by a verb-complement verb.

      mkClSlash : NP -> VV -> V2 -> ClSlash ;  -- 2. (whom) John wants to see --# notminimal

-- The missing object can also be the noun phrase in a prepositional phrase.

      mkClSlash : Cl -> Prep -> ClSlash ;  -- 3. (with whom) John walks --# notminimal

-- An objectless sentence can be modified by an adverb.
