The meaning-text theory (deep syntactic representation (Also: lexical…

- - - - formalized by symbolic representations: semantic representations for meaning and phonetic representations for text.
- - - - Operi stands for a light verb such that its 1st deep-syntactic actant is the ith semantic actant of the keyword and the keyword itself is its 2nd actant:
        Oper1(orderN)=[to] give [ART ∼ to N]
      - Reali stands for a collocational verb that means, roughly, 'fulfill the requirement of' (and such that its 1st deep-syntactic actant is the ith semantic actant of the keyword and the keyword itself is its 2nd actant):
        Real1(bus) = [to] drive [ART~]
      - Magn stands for a collocational modifier that means 'very', 'to a high degree' (= intensifier): Magn(belief) = staunch
- - - - a syntactic zone: the government pattern (= subcategorization frame), which
        specifies, for each semantic actant (X, Y, . . . ) the corresponding deep-syntactic relation (I, II, . . . ) and lists of all surface means of expressing them in the text (N’s, against N, ...)
      - a lexical cooccurence zone: lexical functions, which describe the restricted lexical cooccurence of the headword
      - semantic zone: the lexicographic definition or semantic decomposition of the headword.
  - - - nodal - concerning the nodes
      - saggital - concerning the arch in a graph and branches in a tree
    - - Sagittal deep-syntactic rules generally translate a deep-syntactic dependency into a
        surface-syntactic dependency
      - Nodal deep-syntactic rules translate deep lexical units into surface lexical units
    - - two basic operations: the lexicalization and the hierarchization or arborization of the semantic graph.
      - hierarchization is ensured by the sagittal semantic correspondence rules.
        
        a positive rule, the semantic arc is translated into a deep-syntactic branch going in the same direction
        
        in a negative rule, the semantic arc is translated into a branch going in the opposite direction, that is, an ATTR, COORD or APPEND dependency
        
        A nodal semantic rules associates a semantic node labeled by a semanteme ?s? to a
        deep-syntactic node labeled by a deep lexeme
    - - ensures the linearization, the agreement and the government
