Transitivity-related roles

import Linglib.Syntax.Voice.TermRole · namespace Voice

This file defines the roles of nominal terms in Creissels' binary core-term system: S, A and P for the core terms of intransitive and transitive constructions, and X for an oblique. A role is a property of a term in a construction, so the coding slots of a voice's two constructions can give one participant different roles. The map from the comparative coding slots reads recipients and themes as P-like core terms.
