Newly established nodes are necessary for a complete representation of the meaning of the sentence.
Every newly established node is assigned the value 1 in the attribute is_generated
Types of newly established nodes:
nodes for omitted meaning units (see Section 6.1, “Ellipsis”),
auxiliary nodes for representing more complex syntactic structures (see Section 6.2, “Newly established nodes in more complex syntactic structures”),
nodes representing negation with verbs (see Section 6.3, “Nodes representing negation with verbs”).
Newly established nodes are added to the structure in two ways. There are:
copied nodes, i.e. newly established nodes that have the values of certain atributes the same as some other node. A node is copied as a lexical unit, which is represented by its t-lemma, some grammatemes and a valency frame. The following attributes remain the same when a node is copied:
t_lemma |
a/lex.rf |
val_frame.rf |
is_name_of_person |
gram/gender |
gram/aspect |
gram/iterativeness |
gram/negation |
gram/indeftype |
gram/numertype |
A copied node does not have to be present in the same tree as the original one. Copied nodes are used for representing ellipsis of governing elements (see Section 6.1.1, “Ellipsis of a governing meaning unit”).
