[lkb] Defaults

[Stefan Müller]

Hi,

I am experimenting with defaults. I did the following:

t1 := [
cat /verb ].

t2 := [
cat /adj ].


t3 :=
   t1 & t2.

I was pleased with the result, but later I dicovered, that the LKB takes 
the type that comes first alphabetically. This seems to be a bug.

But what would the desired solution be? Something with a neutralized cat 
value?

It seems that Construction Grammar needs something like the value 
specified on the last type, so that & would not be commutative.

Any ideas?

Best wishes

	Stefan
