Linglib.Semantics.Verb.RootContent

Verb ↔ root content accessors #

The integration seam (P-HUB) between a Verb and the (total) root it carries (Verb.root : Verb.Root): a verb's [Bha24] outcome cardinality and change-entailment type are read off its own root. The coarse Levin-class view of the kind signature (Verb.classKinds) is kept as a separate, named provenance — the realization label's prediction, not the source of truth (Verb.kinds); the two agree only by theorem, never by construction.

RootType and Verb.Root.changeType live in Morphology/RootTypology.lean, so these accessors (which mention them) live here rather than in Verb/Basic.lean.

def Verb.classKinds (v : Verb) :
Option Root.Kinds

The kind signature [Lev93] attributes to the verb via its class (LevinClass.rootEntailments) — the coarse REALIZATION-layer view, distinct from the root's own kinds. They are independent provenances; a classKinds = kinds agreement is a theorem, not a default.

    The class-derived signature, when present, is well-formed (collocationally closed) — classKinds's grounding, inherited from rootEntailments_wellFormed. The stronger classKindsVerb.kinds is deliberately not a theorem: classKinds (the Levin label's prediction) and Verb.kinds (the verb's own root) are independent provenances, so they coincide only for a faithfully classified verb — a per-verb hypothesis the type does not enforce.

    The verb's outcome-set cardinality ([Bha24]), read off its root (none where the root is not annotated for outcomes).

      The verb's change-entailment type ([BEJ+21]), derived from its root's kind signature.

        A verb's changeType is blind to its root's outcome axis (it factors through Verb.Root.changeType): verbs whose roots share entailments share a changeType whatever their outcomes — why outcome cardinality is an independent dimension.
