[02:29:24] At the moment, I have a MassDet cat with lincat MassDet = Det. [02:30:30] Then instead of the normal Item : Det -> CN -> NP function, I have MassDet -> N -> NP. [02:30:58] called MassItem. [02:33:17] I then have to duplicate all the Det functions for determiners that can also be MassDet determiners. [02:37:02] zero_Det_sg, a MassDet, is then mkDet zero_mass_Quant singularNum; [02:38:56] where zero_mass_Quant is zero_mass_Quant = Paradigms.mkQuant "" nonExist; [02:39:46] ParadigmsEng [02:44:25] I guess I'm exploiting a loophole in mkNP that allows Det -> N -> NP [02:45:32] It would be good to stick to the hierarchy of N being just a bare noun. [02:46:08] CN being a noun with modifiers [02:46:10] and NP being a quantified CN. [02:47:15] As you said. [03:00:34] In lib/src/abstract/Noun.gf, it says: [03:00:36] Nouns can be used without an article as mass nouns. The resource does not distinguish mass nouns from other common nouns, which can result in semantically odd expressions. [03:04:21] When declaring MassNP.
