@cite{krifka-1989} Bridge: Nominal Reference → VP Telicity #

@cite{krifka-1989}

Connects @cite{krifka-1989}'s nominal reference theory (Events/Krifka1989.lean) to concrete verb-NP composition and telicity diagnostics.

What it exercises #

Structure #

  1. Nominal reference classification — NPs classified by CUM/QUA
  2. VP telicity composition — VerbIncClass + NP reference → VP reference
  3. Per-datum composition verification — concrete verb-NP pairs
  4. Cross-reference with VerbIncClass — fragment annotations match data
  5. Diagnostic bridge — composed VP reference → for/in compatibility

Nominal reference type, abstracting @cite{krifka-1989}'s CUM/QUA distinction for NPs. Mass nouns and bare plurals are CUM; count nouns, measure phrases, and definites are QUA.

                          • sinc/inc: NP reference transfers to VP (QUA NP → QUA VP, CUM NP → CUM VP)
                          • cumOnly: VP is always CUM regardless of NP This captures: "eat two apples" (telic) vs "eat apples" (atelic) vs "push the cart" (always atelic).

                                                    Composition predictions match expected VP reference for all data.

                                                    Verify that the composition data's verbIncClass fields match the fragment verb entries.

                                                    Connect composed VP reference to for/in diagnostics. QUA VP → accomplishment → "in X" ✓ CUM VP → activity → "for X" ✓
