Coordinated attributes using :mod and

[mgeorgescu]

Hi all,

Currently the guidelines have the following rule:

Conjoined adjectives are done without and:

(b / ball :mod (b2 / big) :mod (h / heavy)

the big, heavy ball
the big and heavy ball

And we seemed to apply the rule that :mod should never accommodate coordinated elements (even if nouns with an adjectival use). While searching in cs, I found the following examples that do not seem to conform to the rule:

  :location (h / here)
  :time (m / morning
          :mod (t / this)))

In this example, we would probably have opted to represent 2 project concepts.

Should these be changed? Thank you.

Madalina, I think you are right on all of the above. Updated. Thanks!!

Hi Ulf,

Maybe you can add this rule to the checker on a next update, namely the fact that we should never have :mod (a / and) or :mod (a# / and) followed by :ops Thank you.

Yes. Good suggestion. Added to checker.
