sentence-disjunct-cost sentence indexprocedure

Returns the sum total of all of the costs of all of the disjuncts used in the i-th linkage of the sentence. The higher the cost, the less likely that the parse is correct. Very roughly, this can be interpreted as if it was (minus) the log-liklihood of a parse being correct.
