[10:26:42] <venicecat> Greetings! Happy new year everyone!
[10:27:11] <venicecat> Hi Inari! \o/
[10:28:02] <venicecat> i can't quite get UttAdv to work for some reason
[10:30:32] <venicecat> i thought it's a simple case of mkUtt (operator (object))
[10:31:27] <venicecat> whereby operator is defined as mkAdv "upon"
[10:32:22] <venicecat> and object defined as mkNP the_Det (mkCN (mkN "restaurant"))
[10:33:07] <venicecat> the phrase i'm trying to make is "upon the restaurant"

[14:23:32] <inariksit> venicecat: UttAdv is just this  UttAdv    : Adv  -> Utt ;
[14:23:39] <inariksit> it only takes an Adv and turns it into an Utt
[14:25:09] <inariksit> http://www.grammaticalframework.org/lib/doc/synopsis.html#Adv  you should use the  	Prep -> NP -> Adv 	
[14:25:14] <inariksit> instance of mkAdv
[14:25:25] <inariksit> and make "upon" into a Prep
[14:25:31] <inariksit> and the rest like you do
[14:39:09] <daherb> inariksit: are you visiting wen at the moment?
[14:42:46] <inariksit> wen is visiting me in finland
[14:43:05] <daherb> okay, say hi
[14:43:08] <inariksit> will do!
[14:44:56] <inariksit> wen says hi to you ^^
[14:45:20] <daherb> thanks

[15:58:49] <venicecat> ah i think i was trying to combine both. Prep -> NP -> Adv and then from Adv -> Utt
[16:02:19] <inariksit> if you wrote mkAdv "upon", that's at least wrong, it should be mkPrep "upon"
[16:07:35] <venicecat> is there a string -> Prep?
[16:08:18] <venicecat> i remembered why i was experimenting with mkAdv
[16:08:41] <venicecat> because there's no upon_Prep in the API, no?
[16:09:08] <venicecat> and i don't remember seeing a string -> Prep
[16:10:13] <daherb> the problem is that mkPrep is not in the api (because it is rather language specific i guess)
[16:10:48] <daherb> but if you only use english it is in ParadigmsEng
[16:59:24] <venicecat> thanks herb!
[17:01:26] <venicecat> so i should be able to do a mkAdv operator (object)
[17:01:53] <venicecat> where operator is defined as mkPrep "upon"
[17:02:17] <venicecat> and object is defined as mkNP the_Det (mkCN (mkN "restaurant"))
[17:03:21] <venicecat> hmm but why am i getting  expected: Str       inferred: {s : Str; isPre : Prelude.Bool; lock_Prep : {}}
[17:03:46] <venicecat> trying to understand what the error message means..
[17:08:25] <inariksit> can you show the whole line that you wrote
[17:09:01] <inariksit> can you write explicitly SyntaxEng.mkAdv
[17:09:04] <inariksit> instead of just mkAdv
[17:09:25] <inariksit> or maybe you have some errors in parentheses somewhere?
[17:24:30] <venicecat> i tried all combinations of parens
[17:24:42] <venicecat> anyways i sleep on it tonight...
[17:25:05] <venicecat> i'll try to trace what's wrong with it tomorrow.
[17:25:14] <venicecat> Thnx much inari!

[17:44:32] <inariksit> I think it's probably the wrong instance of mkAdv, because the one in ParadigmsEng expects a string
[17:44:43] <inariksit> and the one in Syntax expects prep and NP
