Notes

  In Lab7 Grammar, sentence “Kniga na stole” was not generating the
  correct MRS, i.e. the on predication was not correctly identifying
  the book as the thing on the table. We made two changes to the
  grammar to fix this: we changed the the supertype for the
  adpositon-lex-item to norm-lex-item and we connected the SUBJ and
  COMPS of the adposition to its ARG-ST, while identifying the ARG1 of
  the predication with the INDEX of the SUBJ and the ARG2 of the
  predication with the INDEX of the COMPS:

These changes are not reflected in the version of the grammar you
checked in.  Please be sure that you have all the changes merged
into one grammar for Lab 9.  (Getting [incr tsdb()] running again should
be a high priority, since running the test suite is what allows you to
check things like this.)

You're currently getting two parses for this one:

Sobaku li kupil Ivan? 

Since something is letting the lower S count as satisfying the initial
symbol, even without int-cl applying.  There should only be one parse...

   KUPIL li Ivan sobaku?  
   Did Ivan BUY the dog?  (narrow focus - emphatic stress on "KUPIL")

If narrow focus on the verb requires emphatic stress, I would be tempted
to restrict the other "li" (the one that says [INFO-STR focus]) from modifying
verbs (MOD's HEAD should be +njrpcdmo), and then rely on the -fp marking
to get this narrow focus (in combination with the non-focus "li").

Also, 32 parses for this is example is too many.

  NOTE: for the future, it would be nice to constrain the focus value
  to appear only on one word in one clause (otherwise right now we can
  assign -FP to as many words as we want) and also allow it to appear
  twice when both matrix and embedded clauses are present (such as
  "SHE said that John bought a BOOK").  (Haven't seen anything in the
  sources about several words being able to bear focus, so maybe
  that's completely irrelevant though!)

It is possible in English!

  I was unable to create the tsdb instance: even though I followed the
  instructions from Labs 2 and 3 on creating files in skeletons (and
  Index.lisp is pointing at Lab8).  So, below are the previous
  numbers, but we don't have the latest number from Lab8 (even though
  we have all necessary files in skeletons, the home instances are not
  being created).  The overgeneration though should be better as will
  be seen in the next section on generation after adding the semi.vpm.

Are you pointing the database root at the right place?  Does
the skeletons/ directory still have the Relations file?

  We mapped separate PER and NUM features from the external
  (right-hand side) of the VPM to a single PRENUM feature on the
  internal (left-hand side).

Actually, you didn't, but you also didn't need to, since your
grammar doesn't use a PERNUM feature.

     E.ASPECT : ASPECT
       perfective <> perfective
       imperfective <> imperfective

For Lab 9, you'll want to put in a default aspect value if neither
perfective nor imperfective are in the input.

RESULTS: This allowed us to decrease the generation.  For example, for sentence #9:

	#9
	Source: a, e
	Vetted: t
	Judgment: g
	Phenomena: word order
	Ivan spit.
	Ivan sp-it
	Ivan sleep-3SG.PRS
	Ivan is sleeping.

we are now getting 12 outputs instead of 64 that we had before.  		

Actually, the grammar you turned in is giving 4 outputs for this sentence,
which should only be two.  (The problem is that decl-cl is optional, which
is most likely the same problem as above for int-cl.)
