I inserted some comments and suggested revisions into your file so
that you could see the sorts of things I'm concerned about or
interested in.  My comments are preceded by two semi-colons (;;).
I marked your original entries in some places with ";; original" 
and marked my suggested revisions with ";; suggested revision."

What's the next step?  Should we circulate this to some of the
other linguists who expressed interest at the meeting?

I'll be looking forward to your comments on my comments.

;; There are more general issues to address with respect to
;; transitivity alternations like dative shift and passive.
;;
;; 1.  Is the use of frame-group macros really adequate for 
;;     expressing verb class membership and transitivity alternations?
;;     Other lexicon projects (e.g., aquilex and the CMT's lexicons)
;;     use more sophisticated hierarchies and inheritance mechanisms.
;;     are those really necessary?
;; 2.  General formulation of rules using frame-group macros:  Will
;;     there have to be a different passive frame written for each
;;     different transitive verb frame?  For example, will there
;;     be a different passive frame written for "eat NP", "tell NP S",
;;     "give NP NP", "give NP PP", etc.  or is there a way to
;;     formulate the rule more generally.
;; 3.  Rule interactions:  Do all rule interactions need to be spelled
;;     out in frame-group macros, or is there a way to automatically
;;     generate possible interactions of various rules?  e.g.,
;;     interactions of passive, dative shift, and there-insertion.
;; 4.  Since some transitivity alternations (e.g., passive and maybe
;;     middle constructions) come with special morphology, we need a
;;     slot for indicating morphological features of the main verb.
;;     For example, passive verbs should have the features 
;;     verb-form: past-participle and voice: passive.

;; Changes
;;
;; Note coindexing of cs and pas.  In both examples, "flowers" are
;; coindexed with arg2 and "bouquet" is coindexed with arg3.

;; This raises a question of what phenomena will be accounted
;; for in subcategorization frames.  I wouldn't have put heavy NP
;; shift in the lexicon because it is just one of MANY stylistic
;; rules that alter word order.   Different parsers may require
;; different lexical information. The CMT's parsers, for example,
;; require information about changes in grammatical relations
;; but not changes in word order that do not change grammatical
;; relations.  Maybe there should be some general discussion
;; on this point.

;; If all surface word orders are being represented in the cs slot,
;; do we have to take into account that adverbs can appear between
;; np and pp?

;; Also, note again that there issues of consistency and are
;; rule-interaction: heavy NP shift as it is formulated here does not
;; apply to the dative shift verbs above.  So, as it is now, there is no
;; frame for "he gave to his mother a big, wet, sloppy kiss".

;; suggested revision

;; It's hard to represent control in a theory-neutral way.  Basically,
;; what needs to be represented is (1) What is the controller (subject
;; or object of the main clause), (2) Is the controller an argument of
;; the main verb, and (3) That the controller functions as the subject
;; of the lower clause.  (Of course, another problem is that GB
;; doesn't allow raising to object, whereas other theories do.)

;; In the suggested revisions that follow, note the following
;; differences from the original in accounting for (1), (2), and (3).
;;
;; (1) What is the controller:  This should be a feature of the main
;; clause, not the embedded vp.
;; (2) Is the controller an argument of the main verb: The
;; representation is basically the same as in the original, except
;; for changing :ds to :pas.
;; (3) Function of the controller in the lower clause:  This should
;; either not be represented because it is an inherent part of the
;; grammar of the language, or it should be represented in a less
;; arbitrary and more expressive notation, e.g., feature structure
;; with unification/coindexing.  Also, I think it is better to
;; represent control in surface structure because the controller is
;; the SURFACE subject of the lower clause---e.g., "They seemed to
;; be eating the sandwiches" vs "The sandwiches seemed to be eaten".
;; If you go all the way to deep structure, the controller in the
;; first sentence is the deep subject of the lower clause, but in
;; the second sentence, the controller is the deep object of the
;; lower clause.

;; second suggested revision for control

;; Notes: The main clause subject is represented here as a
;; vp-external argument with index 1.  The lower clause subject
;; is called "subject". (This is a strange mix of notation and
;; terminology.) Control is indicated by coindexing the main
;; clause subject or object and lower-clause subject.  Coindexing
;; can indicate coreference, unification, binding an np trace,
;; or whatever anyone's theory says it should mean. (This could
;; be a problem for anyone who needs to distinguish different
;; kinds of coindexing, unification, and binding.)

;; suggested revision

;; I have some questions about the linguistic generalizations

;; Are there really verbs that take "how" but not other wh-words or
;; phrases?  Also, is a non-finite wh-question controlled by the 
;; main clause subject, or is it arbitrary/anaphoric control?


;; Notes:  
;; 
;; 1. "complementizer: wh"  refers to any wh-word (if, whether, how,
;; what, who, where, when, why) or phrase (to whom, in which, etc.)
;;
;; 2.  The role of the wh-word in the lower clause is not included
;; in the lexicon.  The wh-word can have any function in the lower
;; clause that is allowed by the syntax of long-distance dependencies.
;; For example, "he asked what to do", "he asked who to talk to", "he
;; asked who I thought you said he should talk to", "he wondered which
;; room to meet in", "he wondered in which room they should meet"...
