!!!Morfa Context Questions Types, 071108:


!!Introduction to the question type overview


The following is an overview of the question types in Morfa, and
of the semantic restrictions of each question.

The table shall be read as follows: For each question type, we ask
for a certain case (-number). Some elements can be drawn from a semantic 
set as well. We also give the intended answer, 
in the base form. The answer is drawn from a relevant set. To take an example, 
the first line below reads as follows:

* ''Geat vulget PLACE-NAME > semclass:human'' 

It implies that one of the questions frames from which we generate our 
questions is ''Geat vulget PLACE-NAME'', 
where PLACE-NAME is a variable over all the placenames
in our lexicon. The given answer is drawn from the semantic
class indicated to the right of the ''>'' symbol.
