Documentation for the Grammar Matrix Customization Tense, Aspect and Mood 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 Tense, Aspect and Mood page allows the user to specify a range of values for each of these features. For both TENSE and ASPECT, one can select among common values and/or define additional ones. MOOD values are purely user-defined. These features are then available on the Lexicon and Morphology pages such that individual lexical items and lexical rules can constrain them.

In addition, the Tense, Aspect and Mood page houses the feature FORM, which is required if there are auxiliary verbs in the grammar.

Analyses

The Tense, Aspect and Mood library is partially described in Poulson 2011.

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. ]
