Gradability Typology Bridge #

@cite{kennedy-2007}

Per-entry verification that the string-based typology data in Data.lean matches the Fragment entries in Fragments/English/Predicates/Adjectival.lean and the LicensingPipeline predictions from Core/Scale.lean.

Bridge Structure #

For each adjective with both a Data.lean typology entry and a Fragment entry, we verify:

  1. Form match: tallTypology.adjective = tall.form
  2. Scale-type consistency: tallTypology.scaleType = tall.scaleType
  3. Licensing agreement: LicensingPipeline.isLicensed tall.scaleType matches the degree modifier compatibility from Data.lean

With AdjectiveTypologyDatum.scaleType : Boundedness (refactored from the prior Bool-pair encoding in 0.230.437), the consistency theorems can now state full Boundedness equality between the typology data and the Fragment annotation, rather than just projecting both onto .hasMax.

"tall" (open): threshold shifts with comparison class. Open-scale adjectives are context-sensitive.
