list: list
The list relation is used for chains of comparable items. In lists
with more than two items, all items of the list should modify the
first one. Informal and web text often contains passages which are
meant to be interpreted as lists but are parsed as single
sentences. Email signatures often contain these structures, in the
form of contact information: the different contact information items
are labeled as list; the key-value pair relations are labeled
as appos.
Steve Jones Phone: 555-9814 Email: jones@abc.edf
name(Steve-1, Jones-2)
list(Steve-1, Phone:-3)
list(Steve-1, Email:-5)
appos(Phone:-3, 555-9814-4)
appos(Email:-5, jones@abc.edf-6)
Another place where list has been used is for a sequence of
attributes or descriptive terms used as the title line of a review
(such as product or restaurant reviews, etc.:
Long Lines , Silly Rules , Rude Staff , Ok Food
list(Lines, Rules)
list(Lines, Staff)
list(Lines, Food)
However, list should not be over-used. If a construction can be
easily analyzed using the grammatical relations of standard sentences,
such as when there is overt coordination, then it should be analyzed
with these more standard relations, even if it is laid out as a list
typographically.
