@johnca, @sweaglesw, and anyone else interested—I’m looking again at the idea of a unified configuration format for grammars. Previous thoughts and proposals are on the wiki here: GrammarConfigurationRfc · delph-in/docs … --- ## [List Difference / Element Deletion in DELPH-IN?](https://delphinqa.ling.washington.edu/t/list-difference-element-deletion-in-delph-in/1139)

Is there a possible way for list difference to work? (figure from: Abeillé, A., & Borsley, R. D. (2021). Basic properties and elements. Head-driven phrase structure grammar: The handbook, 3-45.)

This is mainly a note for @sweaglesw and @johnca, but others may be interested. @Dan and @bond contacted me about a few TDL variations in NorSource that PyDelphin wasn’t able to parse.

If anyone would like some pre-summit reading, I’ve put a draft of my paper on “Computation as Subtyping” here: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~gete2/wrapper.pdf There are some TODOs to be filled in, but almost all the content… --- ## [Token mapping minutiae](https://delphinqa.ling.washington.edu/t/token-mapping-minutiae/761)

In token mapping, what’s the correct behaviour if a rule with one or more inputs can be applied in more than one way? For example, with the ERG’s two\_one\_tmt, if I1 matches a single edge and I2 could match two edges, the… --- ## [Properly constrain the length of the append list](https://delphinqa.ling.washington.edu/t/properly-constrain-the-length-of-the-append-list/567)

How do I properly say that the length of an append list is at most 1? (That’s possible, isn’t it?) I tried: clause :+ \[ SYNSEM.NON-LOCAL.QUE.LIST 0-1-list \]. But this led to a bug (which makes sense because @guyemerso… --- ## [Correctly constructing SLASH-list in extracted adjunct phrase](https://delphinqa.ling.washington.edu/t/correctly-constructing-slash-list-in-extracted-adjunct-phrase/530)

How do I construct a complex type which has two features, one of type logical-or and the other of type logical-and (so that I could use both AND and OR operations, depending on what I need)?

Is it correct to say that an append list: append-list & \[ LIST \< \[\] \> \] is strictly of length one but it can be appended to, unlike a diff-list of length one?

Is RELS.LIST \< \> equivalent to RELS 0-alist ? I see that @guyemerson used .LIST \< \> in his version of matrix.tdl updated with append-lists; is there a reason to prefer one to the other? 0-1-alist := append-list & \[ L… --- ## [Emerson (append) lists for subject extraction](https://delphinqa.ling.washington.edu/t/emerson-append-lists-for-subject-extraction/372)
