These names just come from their features in the Matrix. An earlier version called them "clause" and "target", but that terminology was specific to information-structure, and ICONS can supposedly accommodate other kinds of relations as well. Also, Emily says "hi" and "lo" are not appropriate because there's no hierarchical meaning associated to the two arguments. I don't think anybody else has thought about the MRS XML format with regards to ICONS, so please feel free to choose better names for these arguments.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> - similarly, I have messages from 7/14 and 8/14 with a proposal for<br> SimpleMRS v1.1 from Mike but can't find a version with ICONS on the<br> wiki.
