Evidential — derived properties #

[Aik04]

Derived predicates and the Aikhenvald-cell mapping that lets typological classifications be DERIVED from declared inventories rather than hardcoded per-language. Mirrors the Determiner.markingStrategy pattern at Semantics/Definiteness/Determiner.lean: typological classifications are theorems about the declared inventory, not stipulations.

Main declarations #

A cell in [Aik04] Ch 2's paradigm space. Each Entry covers one cell; AikhenvaldSystem.fromInventory then classifies a paradigm by inspecting which cells are filled.

  • firsthand : Cell

    Generic firsthand, no sensory channel specified (A1's catch-all).

  • visual : Cell

    Specifically visual evidence.

  • nonvisualSensory : Cell

    Non-visual sensory (touch, smell, taste, generic non-visual).

  • auditory : Cell

    Specifically auditory (A5; Kashaya's distinctive split).

  • inferred : Cell

    Inference from an observable result.

  • assumed : Cell

    Inference from general knowledge or reasoning.

  • reported : Cell
