VERB: verb

Definition

VERB tag is used for words with one of Japanese verb inflection types.
Basically it corresponds to PoS tag verb / 動詞 in UniDic. A VERB consists of the stem and inflection parts as below:

Examples

• 遊ぶ  “play” (verb (general) / 動詞-一般)
• 遊ん だ  “play”+PAST : だ is an auxiliary verb AUX, representing past tense.
• 遊ば ない  “play”+NEG : ない is an auxiliary verb AUX, representing negation.
• 見 て いる  “see”+PROGRESSIVE : a combination of て CONJ and いる AUX functions as adding progrsssive aspect.
• 来る  “come”
• 勉強する  “study”: する is an auxiliary verb AUX, forming a verb noun into a verb.

The differences between VERB tag and UniDic’s verb / 動詞 tag are as follows:

• The stem of nominal verbs (so-called suru-verbs or サ変動詞) is also tagged as VERB, while in UniDic it is tagged as noun (common.verbal_suru) / 名詞-普通名詞-サ変動詞可能. Note that such a nominal verb is tagged as VERB when it behaves as a verb (typically followed by “する” or “できる”), otherwise is tagged as NOUN (e.g. 勉強 が好きだ “(I) like studying”).
• VERB is NOT used for non-content (functional) verbs, while they are taged as verb (bound) / 動詞- 非自立可能, e.g. 食べている  “eat”+PROGRESSIVE : such a functional verb (いる) is tagged with AUX.
