; (ERB 2001-12-10) Try letting a few things attach to 
; utterances (principally, interjections, greetings, other
; discourse particles).

;utterance-root := sign &
;[ SYNSEM.LOCAL.CAT.HEAD utterance_head ].

; (MS 2002-1-7) This would be the version for a 'cleaner' grammar that is not robust, but accurate.

;utterance-root := j-sign &
;[ SYNSEM [LOCAL.CAT.HEAD utterance_head,
;	 NON-LOCAL.ROBUST -] ].

; (MS 2004-03-24) This is the version with underspecification of ARG binding,
; for example in relative sentences or topics

;utterance-root := j-sign &
;[ SYNSEM [LOCAL.CAT.HEAD utterance_head,
;	 NON-LOCAL [ROBUST -,
;		    UNDERSPEC_ARG +] ]].

;utterance-root := j-sign &
;[ SYNSEM [LOCAL.CAT.HEAD utterance_head,
;	 NON-LOCAL [UNDERSPEC_ARG +] ]].


 
; (MS-2004-03-24) This is the version, which tries to bind ARGs in
; situations, where the binding is not clear, gives multiple analyses and
; lets further processing decide.

; (FCB 2005-09-25) changed utterance_head to utterance-super to allow fragments

utterance-root := sign &
