      A slot in a valency frame

      Captures the notation from @cite{osborne-2019}:

      • isArgument corresponds to the a subscript
      • isRaised corresponds to the marker
      • label captures grammatical function (subj, obj, etc.)
      • type : ValentType

        The syntactic type of this valent

      • isArgument : Bool

        Is this valent semantically selected (an argument)?

      • isRaised : Bool

        Is this valent "raised" (appears elsewhere in structure)?

      • label : Option String

        Grammatical function label

            A valency frame specifies the combinatory potential of a word

            Following @cite{osborne-2019}, valents are ordered by obliqueness: subject > direct object > indirect object > oblique

            • carrier : String

              The word this frame belongs to

            • isFinite : Bool

              Whether this is for a finite form

            • valents : List ValentSlot

              The valent slots, ordered by obliqueness (subject first)

                            Valent status for CRDC binding

                            In Osborne & Li's terms:

                            • Full valent: Can serve as antecedent (typically subject arguments)
                            • Conjunct valent: Must find antecedent among preceding full valents

                                Determine if a valent slot is a "full valent" or "conjunct valent"

                                The key insight from CRDC: binding is determined by position in the valency frame, not by tree geometry or obliqueness hierarchy.

                                For simple transitives:

                                • Position 0 (subject) = full valent
                                • Position 1+ = conjunct valent (if reflexive)

                                This captures the intuition that subjects can bind objects, but not vice versa, purely from valency frame structure.

                                  Configuration for checking CRDC

                                  The CRDC states: A reflexive (conjunct valent) must be bound by a preceding full valent in the same valency frame.
