Documentation for the Grammar Matrix Customization Person Library

Introduction

Options

• [ This documentation is under construction. When it is more complete, this section should describe the effects of the various options provided in this library in terms of the behavior of the grammar. It is also a good place for tips on how to get the most from the library. ]

The person library allows the user to specify the range of values for the feature PERSON that will be available elsewhere in the customization system (especially the Lexicon and Morphology pages) and in the resulting grammar.

Analyses

The analyses implemented in the person library are described in Drellishak 2009, Section 5.3.

PERSON is a feature often involved in agreement phenomena. These are handled through the lexicon and morphology libraries. The analyses of agreement implemented in the Grammar Matrix are described in Drellishak 2009, Section 5.2.

Upcoming Work

• [ This documentation is under construction. When it is more complete, this section should describe any modifications to or enhancements of this library that are either in progress or planned. ]
