20.11.2008 |
We continue with the handout Non-verbal predicates. Modifiers. (Chapter 4) Take Home I and its exercise 2 on Lambda conversion. Three caveats. First, for the last line of exercise 2, the Lambda Calculator will only allow to do lambda conversion in a particular order, though several orders are truly possible in this case. This is a bug in the program (the Marc-bug, after its discoverer). Second, for exercise 4, the Lambda Calculator can help part of the way but at some point it crashes. Yet another bug - the Christine-bug. So, better just do it by hand. Third, also concerning exercise 4, if at some point you need to use a new semantic rule, say that explicitly and define it. |
