-====== Interset Features and Values ======+====== DZ Interset Features and Values ======
  
 ===== pos ===== ===== pos =====
  
-Part of speech.+Part of speech. Pronouns, determiners, predeterminers and articles are roofed by nouns and adjectives, and distinguished by values of other features. The ''num'' value is intended for cardinal numbers (''numtype = card''). Other types of numerals are roofed by syntactically defined parts of speech (adjectives or adverbs) and distinguished by values of ''numtype''.

-===== subpos =====+The difference between punctuation and symbols is that punctuation delimits parts of the sentence while symbols can be substituted for a word. For example, //$// is not a punctuation, it is another form of writing the noun //dollar.// See also [[http://universaldependencies.github.io/docs/u/pos/SYM.html|the definition of SYM]] for the Universal Dependencies.

 + 
 +===== adjtype ===== 
 + 
 +A deprecated feature. The only value that has not yet been moved elsewhere is ''pdt''
 + 
 +**Value** | **Description** | 
 +| pdt | predeterminer (it is a special form of determiner; it is an adjectival word that can stand before an article, such as "allin "all the flowers") | 
 + 
 +===== prontype ===== 
 + 
 +Although it reads as "pronoun type" (and we use the word "pronoun" for simplicity), it is also applied to words that are usually not considered pronouns, such as determiners, interrogative/indefinite adverbs (where, there, when, then, how, why) etc. 
 + 
 +**Value** **Description** | 
 +| | Empty value means that this is not a pronoun but a real noun, adjective, adverb etc. 
 +prn The word is pronominal (or determiner) but we do not know the exact type. | 
 +| prs | Personal or possessive pronoun. Possessives are recognizable by the value of their poss feature. Reflexive pronouns are distinguished from normal personal/possessive pronouns by the value of their reflex feature. | 
 +| rcp | Reciprocal pronoun (German "einander", Danish "hinanden"). Similar to personal pronouns but occurs as special case in object position. | 
 +| art | Article, i.e. determiner bearing only the feature of definiteness or indefinitess and nothing more (English "a", "an", "the", German "der", "die", "das", Portuguese "um", "uma", "o", "a", "os", "as"). | 
 +| int | Interrogative pronoun / determiner / adverb ("who", "what", "which"). | 
 +| rel | Relative pronoun / determiner / adverb. Many interrogative pronouns in many languages can also be used as relative pronouns. However, in some languages there are pronouns that fall in one of the categories but not both (Czech "jenžis only relative; in Bulgarian, relatives are completely separated from interrogatives). For words that can be both interrogative and relative, "intis the default value. | 
 +| exc | Exclamative pronoun / determiner, expresses the speaker's surprise towards the modified noune.g. "whatin "What a surprise!" In many languagesexclamative determiners are recruited from the set of interrogative determiners. Therefore, not all tagsets distinguish them. For instance, they are distinguished in Spanish (es::conll2009), Catalan (ca::conll2009) and Persian (fa::conll). | 
 +| dem | Demonstrative pronoun / determiner / adverb ("this", "that"). Being a demonstrative pronoun is not the same as being definite (definiteness=def), although the two feature-values are similar. 
 +emp Emphatic pronoun / determiner. There are similarities with reflexive and demonstrative pronouns / determiners. Example: "himself" as in "He himself did it." Czech "sám", Romanian "însuși"| 
 +| neg | Negative pronoun / determiner / adverb ("nobody, nothing, none"). This is not the same as the negativeness feature. Unlike e.g. negative and positive adjectives or verbs, negative pronouns are not complements of some "positive" pronouns. Instead, they usually correspond to zero, nothing. 
 +ind Indefinite pronoun / determiner / adverb ("somebody", "something", "anybody", "anything"). Being an indefinite pronoun is not the same as being morphologically indefinite (definiteness=ind). For instance, in Bulgarian there are morphologically definite lexically indefinite pronouns ("едната", "едното", "едните", "нещата"). In some languages, we could subclassify the indefinite pronouns into "few" ("málokdo"), "ind" ("někdo"), "mny" ("leckdo"), "any" ("kdokoli" - anybody you pick but you pick only one, not all at once; this is the difference from the totality pronouns) | 
 +| tot | Total (universal) pronoun / determiner / adverb ("everybody", "everything") | 
 + 
 +===== numtype ===== 
 + 
 +Subclasses of numerals. See also ''prontype'' (interrogative and indefinite numerals set it), ''numform'' and ''numvalue''
 + 
 +| **Value** | **Description** | 
 +| card | cardinal number (includes Czech "čtvero", which is classified as generic numeral in Czech grammar) | 
 +| ord | ordinal number | 
 +| mult | multiplicative number (adjectival: "twofold", Czech "čtverý"; adverbial: "five times") | 
 +| frac | fraction ("one fifth") | 
 +| sets | number of sets of things, or of pluralia tantum (Czech "jedny", "čtvery") | 
 +| dist | distributive numeral (Hungarian "három-három" in "gyermekenként három-három ezer forinttal" = "three thousand forint per child") | 
 +| range | range of values, subtype of card ("two-five" = "two to five") | 
 + 
 +===== numform ===== 
 + 
 +Is a number expressed by a word or by digits? Depending on tokenization and tagging scheme, this feature may be orthogonal to the distinction between cardinals and ordinals. 
 + 
 +| **Value** | **Description** | 
 +| word | numeral word ("fourteen") | 
 +| digit | number written using digits ("14"
 +| roman | number written using Roman numerals ("XIV") | 
 +combi | number written using digits and a suffix ("2009-ųjų"| 
 + 
 +===== numvalue ===== 
 + 
 +Low-value numerals display special behavior in some languages (e.g. Czech). This feature helps distinguish them. See also [[#accommodability]]. 
 + 
 +**Value** **Description** | 
 +| 1 | numeric value 1 (Czech "jeden", "první"
 +numeric value 2 (Czech "druhý", "dvojí", "dvojnásob", "dva", "nadvakrát", "oba", "obojí"| 
 +| 3 | numeric value 3 or 4 (Czech "čtvrtý", "čtyři", "potřetí", "tři", "třetí", "třikrát") | 
 + 
 +===== accommodability ===== 
 + 
 +Note that this feature has not been approved so far, as it only occurs rarely in the old version of the Polish corpus, and it is not clear what exactly it encodes. 
 + 
 +In Polish, special behavior of numerals (cf. [[#numvalue]]) cannot be predicted from the value of the number. So unlike the tagset for Czech, Polish IPI PAN tagset (version 1 only; it disappeared from version 2) takes a different approach and encodes "accommodability". The key question is: Does the numeral agree in case with the counted noun, or does it govern the noun and force it to genitive plural? 
 + 
 +**Value** **Description** | 
 +| congr | uzgadniająca (Polish "dwaj", "pięcioma") | 
 +rec rządząca (Polish "dwóch""dwu", "pięciorgiem") | 
 + 
 +Příklady rec: trzech wileńskich i dwóch warszawskich; wyszło wielu znakomitych uczonych, pobierało dwunastu studentów, pięciu mych współpracowników; dziewięciu profesorów opowiedziało się 
 + 
 +Příklady congr: obaj byli indywidualnościami; wszyci trzej prowadzili; dwaj synowie: Czesław; obaj synowie studiowali; czterej profesorowie głosowali 
 +

 +| emp | particle of emphasis (Bulgarian "даже" = "even") | 
 +res particle of response ("yes", "no") | 
 +| inf | infinitive marker (English "to", German "zu", Danish "at", Swedish "att"). Sometimes tagged as particle, sometimes as conjunction, sometimes has its own part of speech. | 
 +| vbp | separated verb prefix (German "vor" in "stellen Sie sich vor"); analogical verbal particles in English? | 
 + 
 +===== punctype ===== 
 + 
 +Punctuation type.

 + 
 +===== puncside ===== 
 + 
 +Distinguishes between initial and final form of pairwise punctuation (brackets, quotation marks). Note that "initial" and "final" are better terms than "left" and "right". The latter would be confusing in languages writing from right to left, like Arabic. 
 +

-red | reduced: used in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_constructus|construct state]] in Arabic. If two nouns are in genitive relation, the first one has "reduced definiteness," the second is the genitive. | +cons | reduced: used in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_constructus|construct state]] in Arabic. If two nouns are in genitive relation, the first one (the "nomen regens"has "reduced definiteness," the second is the genitive and can be either definite or indefinite. Reduced form has neither the definite morpheme (article), nor the indefinite morpheme (nunation). For instance: indefinite state: حلوَةٌ //ḥulwatun// “a sweet”; definite state: الحلوَةُ //al-ḥulwatu// “the sweet”; حلوَةُ //ḥulwatu// “sweet of”. | 
-wh interrogative or relative (deprecated!) | +com complex: used in [[http://books.google.cz/books?id=rs3hzfgj3hoC&pg=PA131&lpg=PA131&dq=arabic+improper+annexation&source=bl&ots=d6gGCpprOX&sig=3G6YkRZsIy_EL0OCEh7_V7qqnlE&hl=cs&ei=ZasDTuLhGc_vsgaLlcyeDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CB4Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=arabic%20improper%20annexation&f=false|improper annexation]] in Arabic. The genitive construction described above normally consists of two nouns (first reduced, second genitive). That is called proper annexation or iḍāfa. If the first member is an adjective or adjectivally used participle and the second member is a definite noun, the construction is called improper annexation or false iḍāfa. The result is a compound adjective that is usually used as an attributive adjunct and thus must agree in definiteness with the noun it modifies. Its first part (the adjective or participlemay get again the definite article. Although it may look the same as the form for the definite state, it is assigned a special value of //complex// state to reflect the different origin. See also [[http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/padt/PADT_1.0/docs/papers/2004-nemlar-padt.pdf|Hajič et al.]] page 3. For instance: مُخْتَلِفٌ //muxtalifun// “different/various” (active participle, Form VIII); نَوْعٌ ج أنْوَاعٌ //nawˀun ja anwāˀun// “kind”; مُخْتَلِفُ الأنْوَاعِ //muxtalifu al-anwāˀi// “of various kinds” (false iḍāfa); مَشَاكِلُ مُخْتَلِفَةُ الأنْوَاعِ //mašākilu muxtalifatu al-anwāˀi// “problems of various kinds”; اَلْمَشَاكِلُ الْمُخْتَلِفَةُ الأنْوَاعِ //al-mašākilu al-muxtalifatu al-anwāˀi// “the problems of various kinds”. |

-===== number, possnumber =====+Some languages distinguish only animate vs. inanimate, where the animate category includes humans, animals, fictious characters and sometimes also personified things. Some languages distinguish human vs. nonhuman, i.e. animals fall into the latter category. Some languages, e.g. Polish (see below) have a three-value system: human vs. animate non-human vs. inanimate. In that case we use the ''nhum'' value to denote the non-human animates, i.e. it excludes inanimates (while in hum-nhum systems, the ''nhum'' label includes inanimates). 
 + 
 +The Polish word "który" (which) is an example of three-value animacy:

 +| coll | collective / mass / singulare tantum | 
 +| count | “counting form”“count plural” or “quantitative plural” in Bulgarian and Macedonian (Sussex and Cubberley 2006, p. 324). It is a special plural form of nouns if they occur after numerals. (The form originates in the Proto-Slavic dual but it should not be marked as dual because 1. the dual vanished from Bulgarian and 2. the form is no longer semantically tied to the number two.) | 
 + 
 +//Pluralia tantum// is a special case of plural, occurring e.g. in Czech. It applies to words that do not have singular forms. They use grammatical plural regardless of semantic number. Czech example: //nůžky// "scissors": //Papír rozstříhejte nůžkami.// "Use scissors to cut the paper to pieces." (semantic singular) vs. //Koupil jsem si dvoje nůžky.// "I bought two pairs of scissors." (semantic plural) 
 + 
 +//Collective// or //mass// or //singularia tantum// is a special case of singular. It applies to words that use grammatical singular to describe sets of objects, i.e. semantic plural. Although in theory they might be able to form plural, in practice it would be rarely semantically plausible. Sometimes, the plural form exists and means "several sorts of". Czech example: //lidstvo// "mankind"
 +

-plu | plural |+plur | plural | 
 + 
 +It applies e.g. to possessive pronouns and it can be different from their grammatical number, which is governed by agreement with the modified (possessed) noun phrase. Czech example: //můj pes// "my dog" (grammatical singular, possessor singular), //mí psi// "my dogs" (grammatical plural, possessor singular), //náš pes// "our dog" (grammatical singular, possessor plural), //naši psi// "our dogs" (grammatical plural, possessor plural).

 +In Hungarian, possession can be marked on the possessor or on the possessed. It is possible, though rare, that a noun has three distinct number features: its own grammatical number, number of its possessor and number of its possession. Examples from the Multext-East Hungarian lexicon: 
 + 
 +  * könnyedén (SSS) 
 +    * könny = a tear (singular) 
 +    * könnyed = your tear (singular owner) 
 +    * könnyedé = (possession) of your tear (singular possession) 
 +    * könnyedén = (on the possession) of your tear (superessive case) 
 +  * ellenfeleié (PSS) 
 +    * ellenfél = an opponent (singular) 
 +    * ellenfele = his/her/its opponent (singular owner) 
 +    * ellenfelei = his/her/its opponents (core plural, singular owner) 
 +    * ellenfeleié = (possession) of his/her/its opponents (singular possession) 
 +  * életeké (SPS) 
 +    * él = point (singular) 
 +    * élek = points (plural) 
 +    * élén = his/her/its point (singular owner) 
 +    * élünk = our point (plural owner) 
 +    * életeké = (possession) of our point (singular possession) 
 +  * tárgyalópartnereinkét (PPS) 
 +    * tárgyalópartner = negotiator (singular) 
 +    * tárgyalópartnerei = his/her/its negotiators (plural, singular owner) 
 +    * tárgyalópartnereinkét = (possession) of our negotiators (plural, plural owner, singular possession, accusative case) 
 + 
 +Words marked for plural possessions are very rare, though. Note that in the following example from Multext-East, Columbus is marked for plural possession, but not for his own owner. 
 +  * Kolumbuszéinál 
 +    * Kolumbusz = Columbus (singular) 
 +    * Kolumbuszéi = (possessions) of Columbus (plural possession) 
 +    * Kolumbuszéinál = (at the possessions) of Columbus (adessive case)

 +| nom | nominative | cs: dům, budova = a house, building |
 +| gen | genitive | cs: domu, budovy = of a house; in Basque, this is possessive genitive (as opposed to locative genitive): diktadorearen erregimena = dictator's regime (diktadore = dictator) |
 +| dat | dative | cs: domu, budově = to a house |
 +| acc | accusative or oblique | cs: dům, budovu = a house |
 +| voc | vocative | cs: dome, budovo = hey, you house! |

 +| ins | instrumental / instructive | cs: domem, budovou = with/through/using/by a house. A semantically similar case called instructive is used rarely in Finnish to express “with (the aid of)”. It can be applied to infinitives that behave much like nouns in Finnish. We propose one label for both instrumental and instructive (instrumental is not defined in Finnish). Examples: [fi] lähteä “to leave”; 2003 lähtien “since 2003” (second infinitive in the instructive case); yllättää “to surprise”; sekaantui yllättäen valtataisteluun lit. was-involved-in by-surprise.Ins power-struggle.Ill. |

 +| ess | essive / prolative | Určuje dočasný stav, často odpovídá anglickému "as a ...". fi: lapsi = dítě, lapsena = jako dítě, když byl dítě ee: laps = dítě, lapse = dítěte (genitiv), lapsena = jako dítě. Similar case called prolative in Basque grammar: eu: erreformistatzat = as a reformer (erreformista = reformer) |

 +| lat | lative | Denotes movement towards/to/into/onto something. Similar case in Basque is called directional allative (Spanish //adlativo direccional//). However, lative is typically thought of as a union of allative, illative and sublative, while in Basque it is derived from allative, which also exists independently. eu: beherantz = down (behe = low) |
 +| per | perlative | Denotes movement along something. Used in Warlpiri: yurutu = road; yurutuwana = along the road. Andrews (pp. 161-164) in Shopen: Language Typology vol. 1 |

 +===== prepcase =====
 +
 +Personal pronouns in some languages have different forms depending on whether they are objects of prepositions or not. For instance, Czech "on" (he) without prepositions has the forms jemu/DAT, jeho/ACC, jím/INS, while with a preposition it is němu/DAT, něho/ACC, ním/INS. Similarly, Portuguese pronouns in prepositional oblique case take forms different from oblique pronouns serving as direct objects of verbs: eu/NOM (I), me/ACC (give me that), mim/PREP-ACC (come to me).
 +
 +Default empty value means that the word form is neutral w.r.t. a prepositional head.

 +===== (abs|erg|dat)(person|number|polite|gender) =====
 +
 +In quite a few languages, finite verb forms agree in person and number with the subject. In Basque, a subset of verbs agree with up to three arguments: one in the absolutive case, one in ergative and one in dative. To distinguish the different values of person, number (and politeness and rarely even gender), there are special features for each of the three arguments. Their names contain the three-letter code of the case of the argument: ''absperson'', ''absnumber'', ''ergperson'', ''ergnumber'' etc. The value range is identical to the base features. That is, ''absnumber'', ''ergnumber'' and ''datnumber'' may get the same values as ''number''.
 +
 +===== position =====
 +
 +Adjectives in some languages (e.g. in Dutch) have different forms depending on how and where they are used. The same may hold for determiners (including possessive pronouns), quantifiers, numerals and participles.
 +
 +Note: This feature has been introduced because of the ''nl::cgn'' tagset of Dutch. Similar features were previously observed in other tagsets (e.g. ''fa::conll'') and they could be now re-implemented using this new Interset feature. We may also consider using this feature to distinguish the nominal (short) and pronominal (long) forms of Czech adjectives, the adverbial forms of German adjectives etc. (these are currently distinguished using the ''variant'' feature).

 ===== tense ===== ===== tense =====
  
-| **Value** | **Description** | +Note: In Interset 1.0, there were two separate features, ''tense'' and ''subtense'', the latter consisting of the values ''aor''''imp'', ''nar'' and ''pqp''We used to avoid hierarchical feature values (e.g. ''aor''ist implies ''past''; but many languages will only know ''past'' and their drivers will not check for the ''aor'' value). Hierarchical ordering of feature values is now normal and there are algorithms to exploit the hierarchy when a feature has to be replaced by another valuethus these two features have been merged.
-| past | past | +
-| pres | present | +
-| fut | future | +
- +
-===== subtense ===== +
- +
-Finer classification of tensesmay not be available in all languages. (And in many languages, these tenses are built using auxiliaries, rather than special morphemes.) Having these separated from the main past-present-future distinction allows that drivers need not check for aorist/imperfectif they know just one past tense.+
  
 Note that, unfortunately, imperfect tense is not always the same as past tense + imperfective aspect. For instance, in Bulgarian, there is lexical aspect, inherent in verb meaning, and grammatical aspect, which does not necessarily always match the lexical one. In main clauses, imperfective verbs can have imperfect tense and perfective verbs have perfect tense. However, both rules can be violated in embedded clauses. Aorist is aspect-neutral and can freely appear with both imperfective and perfective verbs. Note that, unfortunately, imperfect tense is not always the same as past tense + imperfective aspect.

 + 
 +Is this a reduplicative or echo word? Such words occur in Hindi. In Hyderabad Dependency Treebank they get their own part-of-speech tags RDP and ECH, respectively. We do not want to treat them as separate parts of speech because they could be assigned a POS independent of their RDP or ECH status (same as the word that they echo). We may want to merge this feature in future with ''hyph'' into a new feature called ''compound''
 + 
 +| **Value** | **Meaning** | **Explanation** | **Examples** | 
 +| rdp | reduplicative | The word is a copy of a previous word. In Hindi, this would add the meaning of distribution ("one rupee each"), separation ("sit separately"), variety, diversity or just emphasis. | hi: "कभी - कभी" = "kabhī - kabhī" = "sometimes", "कभी" = "kabhī" = "sometimes"; "एक एक" = "eka eka" = "one each", "एक" = "eka" = "one"
 +| ech | echo | The word rhymes with a previous word but it is not identical to it and typically it does not have any meaning of its own. In Hindi it generalizes the meaning of the previous word and eventually translates as "or something", "etc." etc. | hi: "चाय वाय" = "čāya vāya" = "tea or something" (as in "Have some tea or something.") |

 +Note that the ''tagset'' feature may sometimes refer to a related but different driver. For instance, drivers ''cs::pmk'' and ''cs::pmkkr'' are related. The latter is a reduced version of the former and its implementation uses the code of the driver for ''cs::pmk''. Both drivers share their interpretation of the values of the ''other'' feature. They thus also use the same value of the ''tagset'' feature, namely ''cs::pmk''. Sharing this identifier helps one driver understand the ''other'' values set by the other driver. The derived driver has its own identifier, ''cs::pmkkr'', but this identifier is never mentioned in the feature structures. It would be more precise to say that the ''tagset'' feature identifies the language used in the feature structure, rather than the source tagset.
