2.2. Specific constructions with numerals (next best, second-best, a three-month stay, $50 a share, five times, for the first time, 5 years old, 5 m long)

The combination next best is resolved as two sister nodes with the functor RSTR, governed by the noun. Its synonym second-best, however, written with dash, is one node with the t-lemma second-best. Generally, all multi-word lexical units connected with dash are rendered as one node with the t-lemma corresponding to the entire expression in the basic form (singular, infinitive). Therefore, a three-month.THL stay.

Constructions of the type $50 a share have $ as the governing node on which the number depends as RSTR and a share as REG.

Constructions of the type five times, for the first time have time as governing node and the given number as its RSTR daughter. The type how many times gets the functor THO, the type for which time gets the functor TWHEN.

In the constructions of the type 5 years old, 5 m long, it is the adjective (old, long, etc.) that is the governing node in the subtree. The unit (years, meters, etc.) gets the functor EXT and the number gets the functor RSTR.
