semi.vpm

;;; -*- Mode: TDL; Coding: utf-8 -*-
; A basic VPM for Matrix grammars.

;============================================================================
; It is possible that we make distinctions inside the grammar that we don't
; necessarily want to show to the world (as final output).
; 
; For translation rules, also, we want to have a uniform set of values for 
; the important things for generation.
;
; this semi.vpm allows us to collapse very exquisite values into normal
; values that can be understood by other grammars or by the general public
; and will also aid in semantic transfer.
;
; This is actually an optional step to simplify a translation grammar.
