<note>
This roleset id="declare.01" is inconsistent with how the financial subcorpus was
tagged for 'call', but consistent with how 'call' SHOULD be framed.
Call will have to be repaired at some later date.

<example name="basic attributive">
<text>
    Integra-A Hotel &amp; Restaurant Co. said its planned rights offering to raise about $9 million was declared *trace* effective...
</text>
        <rel>declared</rel>
        <arg n="1">*trace* -&gt; its planned rights offering to raise
        about $9 million </arg>
        <arg n="2">effective</arg>
</example>

<note>
Read the sentences carefully to distinguish the item and
attribute--Treebank likes to put them under a single node, and the --&gt;
--tagger often follows that.

    UNIFIRST Corp. declared a 2-for-1 stock split .

        <arg n="0">UNIFIRST Corp.</arg>
        <rel>declared</rel>
        <arg n="1">a 2-for-1 stock split</arg>
</example>

<note>
Expect to see all the usual constructions for verbs-of-saying
(fronted, split, etc).  Arg2 "hearer" will probably be rare, and Arg3
"attributive" will probably not appear at all, falling instead under
the other roleset.
