New type (property) of variable?
Add property (y) in addition to event and ref-index? Not urgent. Can head-off criticism by saying at the beginning of the talk that eventuality will be pronounced event, and they are eventuality in a very broad sense comprising states of affairs and properties, in the sense of (Asher, some impenetrable book, page 538).
(Actually 1993)
p = underspecification of h and x, but only at the description level.
Would only show up in unrealized arguments. Which end up as i, because x would lead to non-scoping, and p would include handles.
Allow for unbound/unexpressed x?
Concern for unbound x is scoping machinery, currently in LKB, Utool
current hierarchy:
p := u. i := u & [ EXP exp/unexp ]. h := p. x := p & i. e := i.
Don't want to complicate the hierarchy, so use a property instead. The distinction is orthogonal to these. But we're already using multiple inheritance.
Currently used in the SEM-I only to mark arguments that can be either h or x (but not e). But it's not otherwise used in parsing or generation. But when the subject is dropped in Abandoning Kim arrived. the ARG1 of abandon is i, not p. A mystery. Must involve (stupendously undocumented) stupendous cleverness in the SEM-I.
Aim for fewer quantifiers?
No, except in as much as other changes to semantic analyses (e.g., putting fewer entities in MWE names) do so as a side-effect
