Dan, you are correct. Someone here added it, probably because of
something like this:<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:part1.03070600.01060801@haleyai.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
Is certain different than than other quantifiers of the
d_-_prt-pl.*_le variety?<br>
<ul>
<li>a_great_many_det := d_-_prt-pl_le & [ ORTH < "a",
"great", "many" >, SYNSEM [ LKEYS.ALTKEYREL.PRED
"_a+great+many_q_rel", PHON.ONSET voc ] ].</li>
<li>enough_det := d_-_prt-plm_le & [ ORTH < "enough" >,
SYNSEM [ LKEYS.KEYREL.PRED _enough_q_rel, PHON.ONSET voc ] ].</li>
</ul>
Thanks,<br>

Good idea, Emily. After trying to isolate why we couldn't get the
on-line demo to demonstrate the same behavior, it appears than an
edit to the name of a relation defined in fundamentals.tdl was
responsible, although we can't figure out exactly how!<br>
<br>
It turned out that working through our changes vs. the ERG as is,
we found one point at which post-loading of QC.tdl generated some
warnings about missing predicates. Searching that file we cannot
find any reference to those predicates, but it is
machine-generated in some way. Could this have led to
unifications working (or not) that should (not) have?<br>
<br>
Just wondering, but thanks for the prod.<br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> 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>
