# Prohibition forms from the corpus Analysis of real fragments: the package identifier, the act, the form verdict (exemplary / disputed / wrong form choice), and why. ## Law ### 1. Turkish Constitution, art. 14 — abuse prohibition (exemplary) Package `tr.constitution` — Constitution of Türkiye (`RefrainFromAbuseOfRights`): ```law rule AbuseOfRightsProhibition(subject: Person, right: FundamentalRight) strict { when person(subject); when fundamental_right(right); then prohibition RefrainFromAbuseOfRights { bearer subject; action right_abuse_activity(subject, right); window [@1982-11-09, infinity); }; ``` Exemplary: the article's vocabulary ("may not be used in the form of an activity…") matches the prohibition form. The window runs from the constitution's adoption date into infinity: a prohibition with no statute of limitations. The breach is observed by the prohibition itself. ### 2. Kazakhstan Labour Code — prohibition with an open window (exemplary) Package `kz.corpus.labour_code` — Labour Code of Kazakhstan (`TerminateDuringIncapacity`): `window [since, infinity)` for `for since: Date`, premise-bound. Exemplary: the most common corpus prohibition-window form — a variable boundary instead of a literal. ### 3. Turkish Constitution — a series of prohibitions, arts. 14–65 (exemplary) Package `tr.constitution` — Constitution of Türkiye: `RefrainFromUnlawfulKilling`, `RefrainFromInstructingCourts`, `RefrainFromNonBudgetClauses`; plus package `kg.constitution` — Constitution of Kyrgyzstan (judiciary chapter): `RefrainFromInterferingWithJustice`. The series shows: a prohibition is the default form for "the state/person may not…" wherever there is an addressed party. Where there is no addressee, the form would be disputed — a prohibition's addressee is mandatory. ### 4. Kyrgyz Constitution — non-interference with justice (exemplary) Package `kg.constitution` — Constitution of Kyrgyzstan: `then prohibition RefrainFromInterferingWithJustice`. A pair with the negative head of the same act (`then not non_interference_with_justice_observed`, see the [negation page](/constructs/negation-and-status/)): the prohibition addresses the actor ("do not interfere"), the negation states ("compliance is absent") — separated by addressee. ## Adjacent forms ### 5. Warlpiri — taboo without prohibition (form boundary) Package `custom.warlpiri.kinship` — Warlpiri kinship law: marriage classes written as `constraint`, not `prohibition` (see the [constraint page](/constructs/constraint/)). Verdict: not an error but a form boundary — a taboo names no party with a window, so a prohibition with its mandatory addressee would be a stretch. The selection rule holds. ### 6. Explicit `goal forbearance` — almost never written (form boundary) Explicit `goal forbearance` is rare next to `then prohibition`. Verdict: not an error but evidence that the prohibition form won: the acts' vocabulary ("is prohibited") matches the written form, and explicit forbearance is written only where the source's vocabulary demands the word "duty".
