The verb být, but also full
verbs and nouns are often modified by a number of prepositional phrases
that have a very general meaning of state. Together with the governing
verb, they express meanings like “being in some state” or
“getting into some state”. For the time being, the solution
is that the prepositional phrase is assigned a functor closest in the
meaning (usually LOC, TWHEN, MANN) and a new attribute is used, called
is_state, with the values 0 and 1. Those modifications that have the
meaning of state are assigned the value 1. The is_state attribute is specified for all nodes
with adjunct functors.
Examples:
He is in
crisis.LOC [is_state=1]
He was under
treatment.TPAR [is_state=1]
person in a bad mood.RSTR [is_state=1]
He fell into
trouble.DIR3 [is_state=1].
