different between convention vs antitextual

English

Etymology

Recorded since about 1440, borrowed from Middle French convention, from Latin conventi? (“meeting, assembling; agreement, convention”), from conveni? (“come, gather or meet together, assemble”), from con- (“with, together”) + veni? (“come”).

Pronunciation

1. A meeting or gathering.
2. A formal deliberative assembly of mandated delegates.

3. The convening of a formal meeting.

   • In order to account for this, we might propose to make the Prepositional Phrase an optional constituent of the Verb Phrase: this we could do by re-
     placing rule (28) (ii) by rule (40) below:
     (40)      VP ? V AP (PP)
     (Note that a constituent in parentheses is, by convention, taken to be
     optional.)
