feature structures for names and loanwords
Following this morning's discussion of feature structures, we are no longer treating names and loanwords as baseTypes (since names, and potentially loanwords too, can be multi-morphemic).
The feature structure for names is being changed from
<fs>
<f name="category">
<symbol value="proper-noun"/>
</f>
</fs>
to:
<fs>
<f name="name">
<binary value="true"/>
</f>
</fs>
Monomorphemic names will also have the <fs> of a root:
<fs>
<f name="baseType">
<symbol value="root"/>
</f>
<f name="name">
<binary value="true"/>
</f>
</fs>
The feature structure for loanwords is being changed from:
<fs>
<f name="baseType">
<symbol value="loanword"/>
</f>
</fs>
to:
<fs>
<f name="loanword">
<binary value="true"/>
</f>
</fs>
A loanword stem entry would have this feature structure:
<fs>
<f name="baseType">
<symbol value="stem"/>
</f>
<f name="loanword">
<binary value="true"/>
</f>
</fs>
