Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
I'm getting the subject relation with non-hole arguments: <br>
<ul>
<li>{ARG0=e61[declarative, indicative, ¬perfective, ¬progressive,
untensed]}, {ARG1=x55[individuated, plural, third]}]</li>
</ul>
for a parse of the sentence:<br>
<ul>
<li>Some organisms survive and others die as the environment
changes; this changes the percent of organisms with certain
traits in that population.</li>
</ul>
<p>Here's the syntactic result of that parse, fyi:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>'some'('organisms')('survive')('and'('others'('die'('as'('the'('environment'('changes')))))))('this'('changes'('the'('percent'('of'('organisms'))))('with'('certain'('traits'('in'('that'('population'))))))))<br>
</li>
</ul>
The specific lexical entry involved is:<br>
<ul>
<li>certain_det := d_-_prt-pl_le & [ ORTH < "certain" >,
SYNSEM [ LKEYS.ALTKEYREL.PRED _certain_q_rel, PHON.ONSET con ]
].</li>
</ul>
<p>And the relation is defined as follows:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>_certain_q_rel := explicit_quant_agr_q_rel.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>but I'm stumped on how it's landing up with ARGs instead of
normal quantification arguments. <br>
</p>
<p>Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is proper?<br>
</p>
<p>Thank you,<br>
Paul<br>
