; We would expect that all types inherit from a single type in the grammar.
; Possibly nonque-item and similar should be moved up the hierarchy.
; Folllowing the ERG, this file can have features added to types, but not
; multiple inheritance ...  (try to email DAN+developers to know why).
; 
; LKB conception there is a layer 'pre terminals' single inheritance guys
; in Ann's implementation -- this was done more efficiencly if it was a 
; separate layer (only for types that occur in the lexicon).  But Dan has 
; not obbeyed this except for verbs. Only the main verbs have... 
; Lextypes... Only the naming convention is now in place for everything _le
; this is not a rule, and everything should work fine if we don't do this
; the LKB has become more and more efficient over time.
; ACE probably doesn't care (we can ask Woodley).
;
; This is the level immediately above lexicon (to allow a clean lexicon
; file, without features). The lexicon file should not carry more than
; the minimal info e.g STEM/ RELATION

These are generic indefinite pronouns that should have a noun head and some quantifier binding it.
These can be set directly on the lexical entry (e.g. every+person, some+thing).

[FIXME] Locative pronouns should probably be changed to inherit from this, so they can have fuller semantics.

[FIXME] This is inheriting from quant-common-noun-lex which defines the sort to be common-s (i.e. non-time). So to add pronouns like 'whenever' we would need to create a new very similar type. 


Things that are quantifiers (e.g. some, a few) should not be of this type and should, instead, form a NP by a 0-nom-d phrase.
 
General pronouns. This is currently a quite broad category of pronouns that includes, for example,  大家 (everyone), 这些 (these), 有人(someone), 一点儿 (some), etc. 

It also a includes a long list of the form 一+CL+CL, which would be close to 'each and everyone of'.  However, I do think this is incorrect. They should still be treated as determiners of some sort.

This allows us to set the KEYREL.PRED generic_n_rel,

岁??? THEY ARE NOT 'REAL' NOUNS / JS: 'or you can say they are nouns that do not take CLs'
 
Some of these CLs can reduplicate to mean 'every X'
苹果个个都很好吃  （JS says everyone will accept this one）
？个个苹果都很好吃  (this one is controversial)
Normally CLs can reduplicate, while nouns can't （maybe only 人人).

n_-_loc_le := common-noun-lex & loc-lex-item & nonque-item
"""
This type is for 'location' nouns that should not be modified by locative nouns (e.g. 里, 上, 外, etc.).
They are, in themselves, partially locative. This is marked by [SYNSEM.LOCAL.CAT.HEAD.LOC +] allows these to be pumped into locative adjuncts without the use of 在 (using a robust rule).

These include form formations such as 校外 (off-campus) and 网上 (online), which although might look that could be treated compositionally, they make use of bound morphemes (e.g. 校) for which we do not have a better treatment at the current moment. 

=======================================================
ZZF 2015-5-3 temporary for locational nouns (not proper nouns). To be fixed when have time.
JS: Locative Nouns normally don't use classifiers in discourse.

loc-lex-item only introduces the following constraint:
[SYNSEM.LOCAL.CAT.HEAD.LOC +]
However this is never used elsewhere in the grammar.

Currently this type has roughly 60 nouns that are a complete mess.

This type should probably be related with the concept 方位词 [fāng wèi cí] (words of locality).

Location adjuncts are mostly PP phrases (using either or both preositions and 'postpositions'/locative nouns). 
<ex> 她 在 家 吃 火锅 。
(She is eating/eats hotpot at home.)

<ex> 她 家 里 吃 火锅 。
(She eats hotpot at home.)

<ex> 她 在 家 里 吃 火锅 。
(She eats hotpot at home.); JC: with ZAI is a bit better.

<ex> 她 家 里面 吃 火锅 。
(This predicts that 里面 and 里 behave similarly in allowing themselves to be modified by a noun)

<ex> 她 在 家 里面 吃 火锅 。
(This predicts that 里面 and 里 behave similarly in allowing themselves to be modified by a noun)
<ex> 他 在 学校 里面 学习 。





Placement of these adjuncts are important. Always pre-verb (unless they 
are complements); and always after time-adjuncts.

<ex> 我 昨天 在 家 里 吃 火锅 。
<ex> 昨天 我 在 家 里 吃 火锅 。
(I ate hotpot at home yesterday)
<nex> 我 在 家 昨天  里 吃 火锅 。


There are some special cases:
beside/next to (旁边 – páng biān)
opposite (对面 – duì miàn)
in the middle (中间 – zhōng jiān)

It seems  边 can NOT be seen as a postposition...
<nex> 她 每天 学校 边 见 他 的 朋友 。 
(this would predict that 边 cannot be used with other nouns too. 
only with a special class 外 里 etc., so they should probably be considered as words for now)
学校 边  (NO!)
<ex> 她 每天 学校 旁边 见 他 的 朋友 。 

There are special cases for 边 when it means 'border' (and not side).
So 边 must also be a word on its own (but as a normal noun)
池塘 边
河 边
海 边
路 边

<ex> 她 河 边 看 书 。 
(rare but probably possible)
<ex> 她 在 河 边 看 书 。 
(this is much better)


 
Check if 面 could be used as a postposition. E.g.:
<nex> 她 房子 面 写 了 他 的 名字 。
(If this is possible some of the discussion below might not be too relevant) 
桌面 (this is the SURFACE OF TABLE) -- but this is bound 桌 (this has a class of nouns with ZI ending)
<nex> 她 房子 的 表面 写 了 他 的 名字 。 
()
<ex> 她 在 房子 的 表面 写 了 他 的 名字 。 
<ex> 她 在 房子 表面 写 了 他 的 名字 。 






Some words, behave as both 'postpositions' and locative nouns (e.g. 里面).
These words can not only help build a location PP-like NP; but also be (by itself) a 
noun and a locative adverb without any help from (other) prepositions.  
<ex> 她 房子 里面 吃 火锅 。
<ex> 她 在 房子 的 里面 吃 火锅 。

<ex> 她 房子 里面 吃 火锅 。
<???> 她 饭馆 的 里面 玩 。
JC: It seems this one is not perfect, with 在 is better, but in speech should be acceptable.
(if it's true that 里面 is LOC+, then even with a  的 phrase it should be possible to automatically pump them into locative adjuncts)

她 坐 在 外面。


<ex> 她 在 里面 吃 火锅 。
(this is perfect, no problem)

<???> 她 里面 吃 火锅 。
(this is she IS inside eating... so without ZAI sounds weird)
(This predicts that 里面 can be used a locative adjuct without the help of other)
<ex> 我们 里面 吃 火锅 。
(the meaning is special: we will GO inside eat... )

SOME OF THESE CAN IN SPEECH (usually use 呢). It becomes very flexible.
你的女儿干嘛呢?
她外面玩呢.
你的女儿干什么呢?
我家里面吃饭呢
你在做什么呢?
我学校里面学习呢
[BUT ALSO] 我 学校 学习 呢 .   [!!!!!!!!!!]
接下来, 我们 做 什么 ?
接下来，我们 家 里面 谈 。



<ex> 里面 很 大 。
(This predicts that 里面 can be used as subject;)

<ex> 饭馆 的 里面 非常 漂亮 。
(This shows 里面 can be the head-noun of a 的 construction.)

What would make sense would be to include only these nouns here, 
in addition to a rule to allow these to build a loc-adv 
(similar to what happens to time-nouns).

We probably need some bound loc nouns (里)  which cannot stand on their own.
And some normal 里面 .


Tests with 的 show that these post-position like locative nouns actually 
behave 100% as nouns (but not the bound ones). 
<ex> 饭馆 的 里面 很 漂亮 。
(The inside of the restaurant is very beautiful); 里面 is the head, and it's a NP.

<nex> 饭馆 的 里 很 漂亮 。
(should not be possible because 里 is bound -- so it can't be picked by 的 on its own)

<nex> 饭馆 的 在 里面 很 漂亮 。   
(should not be possible, because 的 has the HEAD on the right, and must be a NP -- PP is not acceptable)


<ex> 里面 的 桌子 比较 好 。
(the table inside is [relatively] better); This should be analysed as (NP 的 NP)

<ex> 在 里面 的 桌子 比较 好 。
(the table inside is [relatively] better); This should be analysed as (PP 的 NP)


<ex> 商场 的 饭馆 里 很 安静 。
(The inside of restaurants in/of malls); ??? Is this possible? 
If this sentence is possible this would draw a distinction between PP and NP, and suggest 里 is in fact a (complement-taking) NOUN.


There are probably some other special nouns that can behave as locative.
see also '网上' it should be a noun, but can be used directly as loc-adv.
原地 yuándì  (original place)
原处 yuánchù (original place)
北方 (north) VS 北面 VS 北边 (north) -- if 边 is analysed as this special N, then it's fine to behave

桌面 (this is the SURFACE OF TABLE)


<ex> 网上 有 很 多 新闻 。
<ex> CCTV 的 网上 有 很 多 新闻
<ex> 她 在 网上 找到了 工作 。
<nex> 她 网上 找到了 工作 。  (needs ZAI because it's not imperative?)
<nex> 她 在 网上 上 找到了 工作 。

<???> 你 网上 检查 吧！  (since Chinese doesn't use 去网上, this will not be possible)
<ex> 你 上网 检查 吧！  (BUT 上网 is a sep-v, so this is not the same)


So, if these nouns can be to the right of a DE construction, they have to be a NOUN.
But if they can be used as a location adjuct without a 在 / 从 etc preposition, then this would make them special.

<> XXX  的 网上 VP/AP.
<> 中国 的 网上 VP/AP.

<nex> 她 说 的 原处 等 你 。
(???)

<ex> 她 原处 等 你 。
(but still a bit informal. with ZAI is better.)

<nex> 她 （学校） 北方 等 你 。
(not too good. Not correct)

<ex> 她 （学校） 北面 等 你 。

<ex> 她 （学校） 北边 等 你 。
(with ZAI for written)


东/西/南/北/前/后 /左/右/上/下/里/外 are often used in conjunction with suffixes such as 边/面. while 旁 takes only 边 , 对only takes 面, and 间 goes only with 中.


Single character nouns of locality like the ones listed above are rarely used on their own. They normally attach to other nouns. 
??? Are all single character LN bound? 东/西/南/北/前/后 /左/右/上/下/里/外



When 上边/面, 下边/面, 里边/面 ,外边/面and 旁边 are modified by other nouns, the character 边/面 can be omitted. 
But never 左,右 ,对,中 + suffix, the suffix can be omitted if 的 is omitted. For example:

桌子(的)上(边/面) = 桌子上 Zhuōzi shàng on the table
门的后边 = 门后 Mén hòu behind the door
饭馆的前边 = 饭馆前 Fàn guǎn qián front of the restaurant
房间的里边 = 房间里 Fángjiān lǐ in the room
床的下边 = 床下 Chuángxià under the bed
沙发的旁边 = 沙发旁 Shāfā páng next to the sofa


Geographical (proper) names (Country /Place) such as 中国,英国,北京,伦敦etc. never work with direction words 里/里面/里边，for example:

<ex> 她 在 上海 工作 。
(She works in Shanghai.)
<nex> 她 在 上海 里面 工作 。

<ex> 英国 有 很 多 大学 。
(There are many universities in UK.)
<nex> 英国 里边 有 很 多 大学 。


How about pronouns?
她 里面 有 很 多 感染 。
在 她 里面 有 很 多 感染 。
她 的 里面 有 很 多 感染 。
在 她 的 里面 有 很 多 感染 。
(must use 身体, so can probably block pronouns)


Coercion of Locatives in Mandarin Chinese (Qiang Li, 2013)
Locativesin Chinese include simple and synthetic ones. shàng (上 above)、 xià (下 below) 、 qián( 前 front) 、hòu (后 after)、lǐ (里 in)、 wài ( 外 out) are simple locatives, which compose synthetic ones with suffix like biān (边  side)、 miàn ( 面 surface). This paper will take jiān (间 between) 、 shàng ( 上  above) 、  qián (前 front)、lǐ (里 in) for example



SUMMARY: 
- 'Locative-nouns' cannot take Proper Nouns as complements.
<ex> 我 在 北京 。
<nex> 我 在 北京 里 。
<ex> 我 住 在 北京 。
<nex> 我 住 在 北京 里 。
<ex> 我 在 北京 吃 了 火锅 。
<nex> 我 在 北京 里 了 火锅  。

- When container-measure-words are used in locative phrases they MUST use a locative noun/postposition. (We are not dealing with this for now)
<nex> 巧克力 在 盒子 。
<ex> 巧克力 在 盒子 里 。
<ex> 巧克力 在 盒子 里面 。
<ex> 巧克力 在 盒子 上 。


- It seems that bare locative phrases entail 'go' while phrases with a prep (e.g. ZAI) do not.
Is it the case that bare locative phrases are used only in imperatives? 
<???> 她 房子 里面 吃 火锅 。
This sentence doesn't feel right to JC.  This is possible to be imperative. 
The feeling is that there must be a 'go' meaning, which is similar to imperative. 
And in non 1st person or 2nd person pronouns is very weird.
'BARE-LOCATIVE-NP' can be used in imperative sentences. 
'BARE-LOCATIVE-NP' cannot describe a state.


- In imperative clauses, the use of 的 with possibly blocks the possibility to become adjunct.
<ex> 你们 房子 里面 吃 火锅 。
<nex> 你们 饭馆 的 里面 玩 。
<ex> 你 在 家 的 里面 吃 火锅 。     (it feels unnecessary but its grammatical)

<ex> 你 房间 里面 玩儿 ！
<ex> 你 去 房间 里面 玩儿 ！  (this is the meaning of the above sentence, makes it easier, but the above one have no problem)
<nex> 你 在 房间 里面 玩儿 ！  (imperative  ****CANNOT**** HAVE ZAI-prep)
<ex> 你 在 房间 里面 玩儿 吧 。  (BUT with BA is ok ??  THIS is very similar to a QUESTION... so it's compatible with  )
<ex> 你 在 房间 里面 玩儿 好吗 ？  (or HAO-MA is ok -- this is not an order, this is a description of a possible situation.)

<nex> 你 房间 的 里面 玩儿 ！      (even in imperative sentences cannot add 的)
<ex> 她 在 房间 里面 玩儿 。       (a description, not an imperative sentnece)
<ex> 你 在 房间 的 里面 吃 火锅 。 (it feels unnecessary but its 100% grammatical)

'的 里面' does NOT behave the same as 里面



<ex> 她 在 房间 里 玩儿 。     (obviously ok)

<nex> 她 在 房间 的 里 玩儿 。     (的 里  cannot be used, because 里 is a bound noun/morpheme)
(should not be possible because 里 is bound -- so it can't be picked by 的 on its own)



- Under our current analysis of LN as prepositions, we are unable to parse sentences where they necessarily need to be a NOUN. E.g.:
<ex> 房间 里 很 漂亮  。
<ex> 房间 里 有 三 个 人 。 

<ex> 桌子 上 很 漂亮 。
<ex> 商场 的 饭馆 里 很 安静 。


- We're also blocking NPs like 房间 里 to serve as complements in verbs like:
<ex> 我 去 房间 里 。    
<ex> 我 去 房间 里面 。  (this second is somehow better, but above also can) 



- Special LN:
beside/next to (旁边 – páng biān)
opposite (对面 – duì miàn)
in the middle (中间 – zhōng jiān)
<ex> 你 旁边 玩儿 ！
<ex> 你 外婆 旁边 玩儿 ！     (should be fine, but with 去 should be better)
<ex> 你 外婆 的 旁边 玩儿 ！  (should be fine, but with 去 should be better)
<ex> 她 在 房间 旁边 玩儿 。    
<ex> 她 在 房间 的 旁边 玩儿 。
<ex> 她 在 外婆 旁边 玩儿 。   
<ex> 她 在 外婆 的 旁边 玩儿 。
DE selection seems to have a preference whether it's human or not human, but all are ok.

For imperative sentences, it's proably better to require '去'. Without 去 it's perhaps a bit too colloquial (spoken).


<ex> 我 在 外地 学习 。
<???> 我 在 外地 里 学习 。
Same as 双方 ... cannot take these morphemes

你 外地 学习 ！

外校 （other school)
你 外校 学习 。

外校 also doesn't use 里

They all seem to indicate time points.

In the past, time nouns were using being blocked to serve as subjects.
This was deemed too restrictive, as it blocked sentences like: 
<ex> 一月 是 我 最 喜欢 的 月份 。
(January is the month I like best) 

This is no longer the case. However, lifting this restriction had a big impact
on ambiguity (roughly doubling it). This restriction should perhaps exist 
directly in certain verb classes, asking for their subject's SORT to be of type 
'nontime-s'.

aspects of Modality.

Our current test is based on their inability to be used as a full VP. For example:

<nex> 她 要  。

This last sentence is not an adequate answer to the question above.
While the sentence '她 要  。' is grammatical, it's not an adequate response to the
question above because 要 requires the VP comp, and does not take a subject itself.

Many of these verbs have two entries (both aux and non-aux).  
For example, when 要 means 'to want', then it should not be considered an auxiliary.

<??>你 的 大学 生活 很 怎么样 ？

Even though 不怎么样的 and 很怎么样的 seem to be available as modifiers, 
it seems that it can't be used to form a question.

For iTELL, we also need different predictions for base AP (without degree
modifiers) and special words like 怎么样 (which is almost always, if not 
strictly, used in bare form).

Currently, root_strict_adj is saying that ADJ predicates must be SPR <>.
For the time being, we can add this particular restriction directly here.
This would also block sentences like:
