--1 Interlingua Lexical Paradigms
--
-- Aarne Ranta 2003--2005
-- JP Bernardy 2007
--
-- This is an API for the user of the resource grammar 
-- for adding lexical items. It gives functions for forming
-- expressions of open categories: nouns, adjectives, verbs.
-- 
-- Closed categories (determiners, pronouns, conjunctions) are
-- accessed through the resource syntax API, $Structural.gf$. 
--
-- The main difference with $MorphoIna.gf$ is that the types
-- referred to are compiled resource grammar types. We have moreover
-- had the design principle of always having existing forms, rather
-- than stems, as string arguments of the paradigms.
--
-- The structure of functions for each word class $C$ is the following:
-- first we give a handful of patterns that aim to cover all
-- regular cases. Then we give a worst-case function $mkC$, which serves as an
-- escape to construct the most irregular words of type $C$.
-- However, this function should only seldom be needed: we have a
-- separate module [``IrregIna`` ../../english/IrregIna.gf], 
-- which covers irregular verbss.

--2 Parameters 
--
-- To abstract over gender names, we define the following identifiers.

oper
--  Gender : Type ; 
-- There is no grammatical gender in interlingua.

---- To abstract over number names, we define the following.
--
--  Number : Type ; 
--
--  singular : Number ;
--  plural   : Number ;

-- To abstract over case names, we define the following.

  nominative : Case ;
  accusative : Case ;
  genitive   : Case ;
  dative     : Case ;
  ablative   : Case ;


-- Prepositions are used in many-argument functions for rection.
-- The resource category $Prep$ is used.



--2 Nouns
--

-- All nouns are regular, so one should use $regN$ to construct them.

--3 Relational nouns 
-- 
-- Relational nouns ("daughter of x") need a preposition. 

-- The most common preposition is "of", and the following is a
-- shortcut for regular relational nouns with "of".

  regN2 : Str -> N2 ;

--2 Adjectives

-- All adjectives are regular, so on should use $regA$ to construct them.

--3 Two-place adjectives

-- Two-place adjectives need a preposition for their second argument.

  mkA2 : A -> Prep -> A2 ;


--2 Adverbs

-- Adverbs are not inflected. Most lexical ones have position
-- after the verb. Some can be preverbal (e.g. "always").

  mkAdv : Str -> Adv ;
  mkAdV : Str -> AdV ;

-- Adverbs modifying adjectives and sentences can also be formed.

  mkAdA : Str -> AdA ;

--2 Prepositions
--
-- A preposition as used for rection in the lexicon, as well as to
-- build $PP$s in the resource API, just requires a string and an expected case.

  mkPrep : Str -> Case -> Prep ;
  noPrep : Prep ;

--2 Verbs
--
-- Regular verbs should be constructed with $regV$. The 3 irregular verbs
-- esser, haber and vader are available separately.


---- Reflexive verbs.
---- By default, verbs are not reflexive; this function makes them that.
--
  reflV  : V -> V ;
  reflV v = {s = v.s ; part = v.part ; lock_V = v.lock_V ; isRefl = True} ;


--3 2 and many-place verbs


-- I decided to provide the following combinators for forming verbs with
-- complex grammar rules:

  prepV2 : Prep  -> V -> V2 ;
  prepV3 : Prep -> V2 -> V3 ;
  dirV2  : V -> V2 ;


  mkV0  : V -> V0 ;
  mkVS  : V -> VS ;
--  mkV2S : V -> Prep -> V2S ;
--  mkVV  : V -> VV ;
  mkV2V : Prep -> Prep -> V -> V2V ;
  mkVA  : V -> VA ;
  mkV2A : Prep -> Prep -> V -> V2A ;
  mkVQ  : V -> VQ ;
  mkV2Q : Prep -> V -> V2Q ;
  
  mkAS  : A -> AS ;
--  mkA2S : A -> Prep -> A2S ;
  mkAV  : A -> AV ;
  mkA2V : A -> Prep -> A2V ;
--
---- Notice: categories $V2S, V2V, V2Q$ are in v 1.0 treated
---- just as synonyms of $V2$, and the second argument is given
---- as an adverb. Likewise $AS, A2S, AV, A2V$ are just $A$.
---- $V0$ is just $V$.
--
  V0, V2S, V2V, V2Q : Type ;
  AS, A2S, AV, A2V : Type ;

----2 Definitions of paradigms
----
---- The definitions should not bother the user of the API. So they are
---- hidden from the document.
