C-CONT

C-CONT stands for "Constructional Content" and represents the semantic contribution of a rule (phrase structure rule or lexical rule) -- cf. Copestake et al 2005 "Minimal Recursion Semantics: An Introduction."

The value of C-CONT is the same type of object as the value of CONT ( mrs-min) . When the RELS list on the mother's CONT is constructed, that will be the (diff-list) append of the CONT.RELS of the daughters and the C-CONT.RELS of the rule. Likewise for HCONS.
