; semantic information encoded in EVENT.E accessible via the head
; path.)

; (ERB 2004-08-19) We had previously shied away from defining head
; types because even head types that are expected to occur across
; all languages are probably grouped differently in the head subhierarchy
; for different languages. There are plenty of things which we
; think will be the same across languages, however. Thus the current
; strategy is to allow for all possible groupings of head types,
; and expect most of the disjunctive types to be ignored in most
; languages. Perhaps one day the LKB will be modified so that
; users can declare certain types to suppress in the hierarchy
; displays.
; One recent LKB addition which will be helpful here is the
; type addendum statements (':+'). Head types often bear
; features, but none are declared for any of these Matrix head
; types, since we don't yet know of any universal ones. With
; the new ':+' notation, you can add constraints (including feature
; declarations) to existing types. We encourage you to use this
; when adding information to Matrix types, but not to types defined
; solely within your grammar. For example:
; CASE on nouns:
; noun :+
; [ CASE case ].
; VFORM on verbs and complementizers
; +vc :+
; [ FORM form].
; We expect that particular grammars will need to add new head
; types, and may find that the new types should inherit from
; existing disjunctions. If you do this, we encourage you to
; make use of type addendum statements (':+') to add a comment
; to the existing disjunction, e.g.:
; co-verb := +jv.
; +jv :+
; "Adjectives, verbs, and co-verbs.".
; Anticipated future developments include Lisp commands for
; generating the appropriate type addenda and/or additional
; types when you want to add a new head type.
; Our basic inventory of head types will consist of
; verb (v), noun (n), adjective (j), adverb (r), adposition (p),
; complementizer (c), determiner (d), number-name (m),
; and conjunction (o). The letters in parentheses indicate
; the abbreviation for each part of speech used in the disjunctive
; types. Each disjunctive type is also associated with
; a documentation string explaining the disjuncts.
; With all the disjuntive types, we need 510 types to encode this.
; The parent types are in a separate file called head-types.tdl, with
; just the leaves here.
