4.2.5 Relative
RCl = {s : Polarity => ClForm => GenNum => Case => Animacy
=> Str} ;
RP = {s : GenNum => Case => Animacy => Str} ;
Similarly to RS, many RS forms are due to Russian declension of kotory� (which).
4.2.6 Verb
Comp, VP = {s : ClForm => GenNum => Person => Str ;
asp : Aspect ; w: Voice ; s2 : Str ;
s3 : Gender => Number => Str ; negBefore: Bool} ;
Verb phrases are discontinuous: the parts of a verb phrase are (s) an inflected verb,
(s2) verb adverbials (not negation though), and (s3) complement. This discontinuity
is needed in sentence formation to account for word order variations.
4.2.7 Adjective
AP = {s : AdjForm => Str; p : IsPostfixAdj} ;
An adjective phrase may contain a complement, e.g. moloжe Rity (younger than
Rita). Then it is used as postfix in modification, e.g. qelovek, moloжe Rity (a
man, younger than Rita).
4.2.8 Noun
CN = {s : Number => Case => Str; g : Gender; anim : Animacy} ;
NP = { s : PronForm => Str ; n : Number ; p : Person ;
g: PronGen ; anim : Animacy ; pron: Bool} ;
Pron = { s : PronForm => Str ; n : Number ; p : Person ;
g: PronGen ; pron: Bool} ;
CN basically corresponds to a noun lexicon entry N. NP is based on Pron type, so
except for Animacy field they are the same.
Determiners (only determinative pronouns (or even indefinite numerals: mnogo
(many)) in Russian) are inflected according to the gender of nouns they determine.
extra parameters (Number and Case) are added for the sake of the determinative
pronoun bolьxinstvo (most); Gender parameter is due to multiple determiners
(Numerals in Russian) like mnogo. The determined noun has the case parameter
specific for the determiner:
QuantSg, QuantPl , Det = {s : AdjForm => Str; n: Number;
g: PronGen; c: Case} ;
Predet, Quant = {s : AdjForm => Str; g: PronGen; c: Case} ;
4.2.9 Adverb
Adv, AdV, AdA, AdS, AdN = {s : Str} ;
