Next: *EFF-DEPS* Up: COREFERENCING RULE SET Previous: *NEEDED*

*EFFECTS*

*EFFECTS* records all the constraints that would be imposed if a rule is instantiated. Thus, for RELATION-20 rule 0, the following three constraints present in CON are analyzed and recorded:

head-clause: (NC (sentence))
rest-prop: (C (omit agent))
rest-prop: (C (form prog))

The first one constrains the head clause, which is CLAUSE-28 in this case, to not be a sentencegif. The second and third both act on the rest prop (DEATH-1), constraining it to omit its agent and to be of the progressive form. These constraints are recorded as shown below.

*EFFECTS*

RELATION-20 rule 0:
((CLAUSE-28 (NC (SENTENCE))) (%DEATH-1 (C (OMIT AGENT)))
 (%DEATH-1 (C (FORM GERUND))))

(RELATION-20 rule 1:
((CLAUSE-28 (NC (SENTENCE))) (%DEATH-1 (C (FORM NOMINALIZE))))
