[Lingtyp] syntactic construction formula

[Christian Lehmann]

Let the adverb /suddenly/ be my component C. Combined with the 
construction /John screamed/, my formula might look something like:

{Adv} NP {Adv} VP {Adv}

Is this a misleading use of curly brackets (referring to Ian Joo's 
suggestion, which I remember having seen in the early days of 
transformationalism) ? Or is there a more adequate representation?
