Hi Geoff,
Currently I'm thinking about core roles myself and I'm not sure
what's the best thing to do. At the moment I'm dealing with 6
grammatical and 2 logical roles (plus their possible
combinations) ... It's merely about knowledge representation. Anyway,
I think I need a break from Ladekwa grammar, sorry.
Regards,
Stephan
