Lexical Categories are not Unified

The categories that are handled by the morphology module can be declared to be ``lexical categories''. If a category is a lexical category, it is not unified by the unifier, and it is passed unchanged to the morphology module. The assumption here is that the morphology module will do all the reasoning necessary for these categories.

To declare that a category is lexical, you must call the function register-category-not-unified. To find out the list of non-unified categories, call the function categories-not-unified.

          
CATEGORIES-NOT-UNIFIED (&optional (cat-attribute *cat-attribute*))

REGISTER-CATEGORY-NOT-UNIFIED (cat &optional (cat-attribute *cat-attribute*))

   

Note that this information depends on the cat-attribute, which by default is cat (cf. page [*]).
