Notes
-------------------------------------------------------

In the questionnaire, we chose the 'finite verb or auxiliary in second position, else free word order' option.

>> As can be seen in the contrast between the two examples here, additional verbs are not restricted to final position.

Interesting.  (And convenient, in this case.)  Are there restrictions
on where the non-finite verbs can go?

It appears that alternative word orders can occur in certain discourse situations. For example, the subject can occur after the verb when the verb is preceded by 'jaa'. It's unclear whether this would be allowed if 'jaa' were dropped.

Source: a:245
Vetted: s
Judgment: g
Phenomena: word order
jaa iit ik fuul
jaa iit ik fuul
yes eat I  much
yes I eat it a lot

>> If the language is V2, presumably the subject can follow the verb
provided that *something* is in that preverbal position.  Maybe jaa is
doing that here?

None of the examples of noun phrase structure parsed, due to unsupported constructions like prepositional phrases, imperatives, coordinations, etc. On the bright side, the ungrammatical example of a pronoun with a determiner did not parse either, though it is simple enough that it would have if the constraint didn't work. ('ik skiar di höm')

>> Why don't you have any simple grammatical examples with NPs with
   determiners?

However, the large number of irregular forms will need to be handled in the tdl

>> Or not, if you're targeting orth-seg...


hat := 3sg-neut-subj-pronoun-noun-lex &
  [ STEM < "hat" >,
    SYNSEM.LKEYS.KEYREL.PRED "_3sg_neut_subj_pn_rel" ].

>> PRED should be just pronoun_rel; the 3sg neut info is
there in the variable properties, and subj is syntactic
not semantic info.



section=gender
  gender1_name=masculine
  gender2_name=feminine
  gender3_name=neuter

>> You might want to pick shorter names for these types, so that 
the avms are smaller ;-)

>> You probably want simpler examples for your word order test cases,
which don't rely on phrases like "much" or "a lot".
