Sets containing sets of lists and tags

This part of the file lists a large number of sets based partly upon the tags defined above, and partly upon lexemes drawn from the lexicon. See the sourcefile itself to inspect the sets, what follows here is an overview of the set types.

Sets for Single-word sets

• LIST INITIAL = “a” “b” “c” “d” “e” “f” “g” “h” “i” “j” “k” “l” “m”
• “n” “o” “p” “q” “r” “s” “t” “u” “v” “w” “x” “y” “z”
• “á” ; INITIAL

Sets for word or not

WORD any word

• SET REAL-WORD-NOT-ABBR = WORD - Num - Ord - (ABBR N) ; # This is former REALWORD-NOTABBR #!! REAL-WORD-NOT-ABBR
• SET NOT-COMMA = WORD - COMMA ; #!! NOT-COMMA = * SET NOT-COMMA = WORD - COMMA ; #!! NOT-COMMA

Case sets

ADLVCASE

CASE-AGREEMENT CASE

NOT-NOM NOT-GEN NOT-ACC

Verb sets

Verbs and their complements

NOT-V

Sets for finiteness and mood

REAL-NEG

MOOD-V

NOT-PRFPRC

Sets for person

SG1-V SG2-V SG3-V PL1-V PL2-V PL3-V

Set for your, my and his

• LIST PLPOSS = (Poss Pl) ;

Note that imperative verbs are not included in these sets!

Some subsets of the VFIN sets

• SET SG-V = SG1-V OR SG2-V OR SG3-V ;
• SET PL-V = PL1-V OR PL2-V OR PL3-V ;

Pronoun sets

Adjectival sets and their complements

Adverbial sets and their complements

Sets of elements with common syntactic behaviour

NP sets defined according to their morphosyntactic features

The PRE-NP-HEAD family of sets

These sets model noun phrases (NPs). The idea is to first define whatever can occur in front of the head of the NP, and thereafter negate that with the expression WORD - premodifiers.

Border sets and their complements

Morphoponological sets
