			== Functional notation ==

			We have introduced the functional notation and the eventuality variable in chapter 5. What are the new formulae that correspond to the formulae from chapter 2?

			<quiz display=simple>

			{Notation from chapter 2: '''hobbit'''('''frodo''')<br />
			New notation:
			\|type="[]"}
			- '''frodo'''•'''hobbit'''
			\|\| The functor ('''hobbit''') must precede the argument ('''frodo''').
			+ '''hobbit'''•'''frodo'''

			{Notation from chapter 2: '''walk'''('''frodo''')<br />
			New notation:
			\|type="[]"}
			- '''walk'''•'''frodo'''
			\|\| We introduced an eventuality variable for verbs. Typically written as ''e'' or ''s''.
			+ ('''walk'''•''e'')•'''frodo'''
			- ('''walk'''•'''frodo''')•''e''
			\|\| By convention the predicate associated with the verb, here '''walk''', combines with the eventuality variable first.


			{Notation from chapter 2: '''help'''('''aragorn''','''frodo''')<br />
			New notation:
			\|type="[]"}
			+ (('''help'''•''e'')•'''frodo''')•'''aragorn'''
			- (('''help'''•''e'')•'''aragorn''')•'''frodo'''
			\|\| By convention, the predicate that corresponds to the verb, here '''help''', combines last with the argument that corresponds to the active subject, here '''aragorn'''.
			- (('''help'''•'''aragorn''')•'''frodo''')•''e''
			\|\| By convention, the predicate that corresponds to the verb, here '''help''', combines first with the eventuality variable, here ''e''.

			== Semantic types ==

			<quiz display=simple>
			{Add the semantic types in the blanks. Use simple letters ("e" or "t") for simple types. Use round brackets for complex types (for example: "(e,t)").}

			{Add the types for simple expressions:
			\|type="{}"}

			a. '''frodo'''_{ e _13 }<br />
			b. '''hobbit'''_{ (e,t) _13 }<br />
			c. '''walk'''_{ (e,(e,t)) _13 }<br />
			d. '''help'''_{ (e,(e,(e,t))) _13}<br />
			e. ('''hobit'''•''x'')_{ t _13}

			{Add the semantic types for complex expressions:
			\|type="{}"}

			a. (('''walk'''_{ (e,(e,t)) _9 } • ''e''_{ e _1 }) • '''aragorn'''_{ e _1 })_{ t _1 }
			b. ('''hobbit'''_{ (e,t) _5} • ''y''_{ e _1 })_{ t _1 }
