 %
 % NEW LINKS INVENTED BY MIKE ROSS
 % Ct and Cta are used with comparatives so that 'than' links to the relative clause
 % John is bigger than Dave is.
 % John wants more cookies than Dave wants.
 %
 % Rw is used similarly to Ct, Cta, and Rn to link question words to the relative clauses
 % that follow them.  
 % For auxillary verbs, replaced "{Q-}" with "(Rw- or Q-}".  
 % For nouns and others, replaced "B*m+" with "(Rw+ & B*m+)" (for any *)
 % For who,what,which,whom, replaced "B*" with "(R+ & B*+)" (for any *)
 %
 % TODO:
 % To-do: many verb simple past-tense forms include ({@E-} & A+) to
 % make them adjective-like. Strictly speaking, these should probably
 % copied into words.adj.1 and treated like common adjectives, right?
 %
 % Many nouns in words.n.4 are treated as "mass or count". The side
 % effect is that mass nouns are inconsistently treated as sometimes
 % singular, sometimes plural. e.g. words.n.3 gets <noun-sub-s> &
 % <noun-main-m>. This is a kind-of ugly tangle, it should really 
 % be sorted out so that links are properly marks as s, p or m.
 % This is mostly fixed, except that some uses of <noun-main-m>
 % remain, below.

% Null links. These are used to drop the requirement for certain words
% to appear during parsing. Basically, if a parse fails at a given cost,
% it is retried at a higher cost (by raising the disjunct_cost).
% Currently, two different nulls are defined: a regular null, and a 
% costly null.  The regular null is used to make determiners optional;
% this allows for the parsing of newspaper headlines and clipped
% technical speech (e.g. medical, engineering, where dterminers are
% dropped).  The costly-null is used during panic parsing.
% Currently, both have the same cost: using the ordinary null allows
% too many sentences to be parsed incorrectly.

<costly-null>: [[[()]]];

% Just pure singular entities, no mass nouns 
% The CAPITALIZED-WORDS rule is triggered by regex matching, and 
% applies to all capitalized words that are not otherwise found in
% the dictionary.
% ({[[@MX+]]} & AN+) comes from postposed modifiers: 
% "Codon 311 (Cys --> Ser) polymorphism"
%
% We do NOT tag these with <marker-entity>, a this messes up first-word
% processing in tokenize.c.  So for example, we do *not* want "There"
% in "There they are" tagged as an entity, just because its capitalized.
% We really do want to force the lower-case usage, because the lower case
% is in the dict, and its the right word to use. (The only entities that
% should be tagged as such are those that are in the dicts, in thier
% capitalized form, e.g. "Sue.f" female given name as opposed to "sue.v"
% verb in the sentence "Sue went to the store.")
%
% To help discourage capitalized use when the lower-case is in the dict,
% we give a slight cost to [<noun-sub-s> & (JG- or <noun-main-s>)] to
% discourage use as a common noun, so that the lower-case version can 
% play this role.

% NUMERICAL EXPRESSIONS
% Numeric ranges, e.g. "15 to 20". The "to" (or hyphen) acts as a
% number in a range, and the requirements should match NUMBER.
% The NIf connectors (second subscript position is "n" for number
% and "u" for unit) allow "15 to 20", "15 to 20 kDa" and 
% "15 kDa to 20 kDa", but not "15 kDa to 20".
% Allowing EC+ for "two to threefold more abundant". This allows also the

% XXX Hmmm. There is a fair number of verbs in here that are "weakly"
% transitive, i.e. are transitive in various rare usages: 
% "I ambled the horse", "I hydroplaned the car", etc.  Per theory of
% functional grammar and related, transitivity should be taken as 
% variable, so e.g. we could assign a high cost to the transitive use
% of some of these verbs ...
