WORD CLASS TAGS

N Nouns
PROP Proper nouns (names)
SPEC Specifiers (defined as non-inflecting pronouns, that can't be used as prenominals):
e.g. certain indefinite pronouns, nominal quantifiers, nominal relatives
DET Determiners (defined as inflecting pronouns, that can be used as prenominals): --
e.g. articles, attributive quantifiers
PERS Personal pronouns (defined as person-inflecting pronouns)
ADJ Adjectives (including ordinals, excluding participles which are tagged V PCP)
ADV Adverbs (both 'primary' adverbs and derived adverbs ending in -mente)
V Verbs (full verbs, auxiliaries)
NUM Numerals (cardinals)
PRP Preposition
KS Subordinating conjunctions
KC Coordinationg conjunctions
IN Interjections
EC Hyphen-separated prefix ("elemento composto", category being phased out)

Where secondary tags (shown as <...>) are retained in the analysis, adverbs (ADV) and the pronoun word classes (SPEC, DET, PERS) are further differentiated into subclasses, two of which (<rel> [relatives] and <interr> [interrogatives]) often share the same word forms, and thus have to be disambiguated word-class-internally. This is in part also necessary for the <setop> [set-operator] subclass of adverbs. Other secondary tags (e.g. valency tags like <vt> for transitive verb) help disambiguate the primary [morphological and syntactical] tags, but are not disambiguated themselves. Like purely semantic tags (e.g. <prof> for profession) they may, however, be useful for resolving lexical polysemy on some higher level of analysis.

INFLECTION TAGS

Gender: M (male), F (female), M/F [for: N', PROP', SPEC', DET, PERS, ADJ, V PCP, NUM]
Number: S (singular), P (plural), S/P [for: N, PROP', SPEC', DET, PERS, ADJ, V PCP, V VFIN, INF, NUM]
Case: NOM (nominative), ACC (accusative), DAT (dative), PIV (prepositive), ACC/DAT, NOM/PIV [for: PERS]
Person: 1 (first person), 2 (second person), 3 (third person), 1S, 1P, 2S, 2P, 3S, 3P, 1/3S, 0/1/3S [for: PERS, V VFIN, V INF]
Tense: PR (present tense), IMPF (imperfeito), PS (perfeito simples), MQP (mais-que-perfeito), FUT (futuro), COND (condicional) [for: V VFIN]
Mood: IND (indicative), SUBJ (subjunctive), IMP (imperative) [for: V VFIN]
Finiteness: VFIN (finite verb), INF (infinitive), PCP (participle), GER (gerund) [for: V]

(In this table, " ' " after a word class means, that the category in question for this word class is a lexeme category, and thus derived directly from the lexicon. No " ' " means, that the category in question is a wordform category for this word class, and thus expressed by inflection.)

Derivational analysis is marked by <DERS: ....> (suffixation) and <DERP: ...> (prefixation), respectively.
At most intermediate levels of processing ,the asterisk marks capitalisation (<*>) and quotes (<*1> and <*2>).
$ the dollar sign is used to mark non-word items, like punctuation marks ('$.' for a fullstop, '$,' for a colon) and numbers ('$1947').

SECONDARY TAGS

These are a somewhat idiosyncratic mixture of lexicon tags and mapped tags, many of them valency tags, that are used by the parser for the disambiguation of the primary tags, word class and syntactic function. Secondary tags themselves are only partly disambiguated on the syntactic level, an important example for full disambiguation being the interrogative and relative subclasses of adverbs and pronouns.

Only the most frequent secondary tags are mentioned here. Tags used in the AC/DC-project of corpus annotation are marked red.

Semantic tags for nouns

PALAVRAS assigns angle-bracketed semantical tags for most nouns and verbs and some adjectives. The 157 semantic tags used for nouns are prototype classes, like <Hprof> for 'professional', which again translate into a subset of atomic features taken from a list of 16 values. The semantic tags are bilingually motivated (Portuguese-Danish translation alternatives) and polysemic words will thus have several tags. The semantical subsystem is in an experimental stage, and not subject to a full disambiguation at the present time, though it can - together with the valency subsystem - yield a fair degree of polysemy resolution even now. The noun tag list below is in alphabetical order, with uppercase tags first.
