GROUP: Group words into constituents

In MoLE: Modeling Language Evolution

Description

Determines each possible constituent ordering (assuming adjacency) of an utterance. Given A B C V, in which V is identified as the verb, B could be a marker of A, or C could be a marker of B.

Usage

GROUP(hearerID, analysis)

Arguments

hearerID	Pointer to the hearer agent
analysis	Analysis of the utterance in which the individual lexemes have been determined and the verb has been identified.

Details

VerbAdpositions are for topic cross reference only, and may be put on top of verb suffixes. VerbAdpositions are reanalyzed as verbSuffix if index=TRUE and no other verb suffixes (then no proper suffix was available) Only non-local-person noun markers, to be removed if possessive marking is modelled.

Value

list of all possible groupings

[[1]]	First possible grouping analysis
[[2]]	Second possible grouping analysis, if possible, etc.
