\section*{Advisory notes on AVM packages for \LaTeX}
This project uses the \texttt{avm} package which is not available in \TeX{} Live; consequently, it has been uploaded into this project. Anyone wishing to use attribute value matrices may be interested in the more recent package,\href{https://ctan.org/pkg/langsci-avm?lang=en}{\texttt{langsci-avm}}, which is now available in \TeX{} Live. Due to syntax and feature differences, this document will not compile with \texttt{langsci-avm} and will require some editing. See section 4.6 of the
\href{http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/langsci-avm/langsci-avm.pdf}{\texttt{langsci-avm} documentation} for guidance on switching from \texttt{avm} to \texttt{langsci-avm}.
%%---Introductory example---
\begin{center}
\begin{avm}
\[ cat\|subcat & \<NP$_{it}$, NP$_{\@2}$, S[comp]:\@3\> \\
content & \[ relation & \bf bother\\
bothered & \@2 \\
soa-arg & \@3 \] \]
\end{avm}
\end{center}
