Item¶

Definition¶

<item>

The grammar entry of items. Each item contains a separate phrase that can be used by the system or the user to speak about the parent element.

Parents¶

• <one-of>

Children¶

• <slot>
• <vp>
  • <infinitive>
  • <imperative>
  • <ing-form>
  • <object>

Behaviour¶

In the grammar, <item> is the child of the <one-of> tag. It has no attributes and can contain <slot> tags.

Each <item> tag contains one phrase that can be used by the system or user to speak about the parent element that it belongs to. This parent element could be an <action>, a <question>, an <answer>, a <report>, or an <individual>.

<item> tags can also contain a <vp> tag, which specifies the verb of an expression in different grammatical moods and inflected forms for use in Grammatical Framework to generate grammatical forms. See <vp> for further information.

Examples¶
