E.g. (very simplified):
a man bought four bikes
+DET.SG +N.SG +V.PAST +DET.PL +N.PL
#PRE> #SUBJ #VERBAL #PRE> #OBJECT
If the above is the input, it should respond to eg.
+DET.SG * #VERBAL * bike*
That is, it should be able to substitute any lexeme in the text by it's
morphological (in a wide sense) or syntactical (in a narrow sense)
information.
Needles to say this requires a tagged text, but not that the text is uniqly
tagged, so it should respond to ambigous material as well.
