Observations

Types

The expressions "a type of", "a kind of" and "a sort of" are to be replaced by the relation icl (inclusion):

• X is a type of energy = icl(X, energy)
• X is a kind of behaviour = icl(X, behavior)
• X is a sort of decision = icl(X, decision)

Parts

The expression "a part of" is to be replaced by the relation pof (part-of)

• X is a part of the table = pof(X, table)

Units

Units of measurement are always to be indicated by the relation qua (quantifier):

• a group of students = qua(students, group)
• a drop of water = qua(water, drop)
• a piece of fruit = qua(fruit, piece)
• an article of clothing = qua(clothing, article)
• a bowl of cereal = qua(cereal, bowl)
• a grain of sand = qua(sand, grain)

• a bolt of lightning = qua(lightning, bolt)
• a game of tennis = qua(tennis, game)
• a clap of thunder = qua(thunder, clap)

Spec

The preposition "of" is often used to introduce a specifier to the head of the noun phrase. In such cases, the specifier of the NP is always to be indicated by the attribute @spec, as follows:

• a form of love = mod(form.@spec, love)
• a symbol of love = mod(symbol.@spec, love)
• a brand of shampoo = mod(brand.@spec, shampoo)
• an act of kindness = mod(act.@spec, kindness)
• etc.

Apposition

The preposition "of" may also be used to indicate an apposition. In such cases, the attribute @spec should also be used.

• that idiot of a driver = mod(idiot.@spec, driver)
