[13:17:08] "I went to all the cities in which my friends live" [13:24:12] I think "in which" is the RP. "in which my friends live" is the RS, and mkCN should parse "cities in which my friends live" [13:30:27] mkRP only overloads one function, FunRP. [13:31:20] FunRP p np rp = { s = \\c => np.s ! NPAcc ++ p.s ++ rp.s ! RPrep (fromAgr np.a).g ; a = RAg np.a }; [13:31:52] I don't understand. [13:58:59] hmm [14:01:21] the example in the abstract syntax is [14:01:21] IdRP : RP ; -- which [14:01:22] FunRP : Prep -> NP -> RP -> RP ; -- the mother of whom [14:02:29] and the examples are "whom John loves", "who loves John" [14:04:31] it seems that the choice of preposition in FunRP is quite overgenerating; if you pick of, it's easy to use in the place of "who" or "whom" [14:04:44] if it's "cities in which", then it's not really replacing an object, but an adverbial [14:06:01] the point of RelVP is to replace the subject with the RP, and RelSlash to replace the object with the RP [14:09:26] so, a RP formed by FunRP with a locative preposition, like "cities in which", would theoretically work with RelSlash, for a verb whose object is a place adverbial [14:10:05] imagine there's a V2Adverbial verb type sleep, then you can use RelSlash to construct "all the cities in which John sleeps" [14:11:29] as a subject, I can't find a way for it to make sense [14:14:06] anyway, it's just overgenerating, and gives silly parses! if I understand correctly, in Extra you should find the constructors you need [14:14:42] you want to construct the RS "in which my friends live", you can use PiedPipingRelSlash : RP -> ClSlash -> RCl ; [14:15:08] the "my friends live in" would be in the ClSlash, and which would come from the RP (IdRP, not FunRP) [14:16:55] you can get ClSlashes with the constructor SlashPrep [14:16:55] Lang> gr SlashPrep ? ? | l -treebank [14:16:55] Lang: SlashPrep (ImpersCl is_right_VP) for_Prep [14:16:56] LangEng: it is right for [14:44:09] *** Quits: fotonzade (~photon@161.9.109.171) (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [18:07:07] *** Quits: proteus-guy (~proteusgu@node-yqc.pool-125-24.dynamic.totbb.net) (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [18:20:13] *** Joins: proteus-guy (~proteusgu@node-y46.pool-125-24.dynamic.totbb.net) [22:26:32] *** Joins: fotonzade (~photon@78.189.158.97) [22:58:23] *** Quits: fotonzade (~photon@78.189.158.97) (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
