'too' constructions (degree-consequence) #109

Open nschneid opened 10 years ago

nschneid commented 10 years ago

Discussed for DF-170-181104-872_8803.10, ~"too crazy for people who...":

(c / crazy
  :degree (t / too)
  :compared-to (p / person ...))

@cbonial notes that PropBank is making a frame for "too" constructions, which may be more appropriate for sentential complements like "too hot to handle". For now, the best option is probably:

(h / hot
  :degree (t / too)
  :compared-to (h2 / handle-01))

This should be documented in the dictionary, guidelines, etc.
