Struct Referent 

pub struct Referent {
    pub variable: Symbol,
    pub noun_class: Symbol,
    pub gender: Gender,
    pub number: Number,
    pub source: ReferentSource,
    pub used_by_pronoun: bool,
    pub ownership: OwnershipState,
    pub modifiers: Vec<Symbol>,
}

Fields

variable: Symbol

noun_class: Symbol

gender: Gender

number: Number

source: ReferentSource

used_by_pronoun: bool

ownership: OwnershipState

modifiers: Vec<Symbol>

The distinguishing modifier(s) of the description that introduced this referent — the adjective/gerund that does the REFERRING in “the [modifier] [head]”. For “the hunting vacation” this holds Hunt. Empty for bare descriptions (“the vacation”). Used by context-driven coreference: two definite descriptions that share their distinguishing modifier AND have sort-compatible head nouns denote the same entity.
