`Poss`: possessive

Poss

Boolean feature of pronouns, determiners or adjectives. It tells whether the word is possessive.

While many tagsets would have “possessive” as one of the various pronoun types, this feature is intentionally separate from PronType, as it is orthogonal to pronominal types. Several of the pronominal types can be optionally possessive, and adjectives can too.

In BulTreeBank tagset “possessive” is one of the various pronoun types.

`Yes`: it is possessive

Note that there is no No value. If the word is not possessive, the Poss feature will just not be mentioned in the FEAT column. (Which means that empty value has the No meaning.)

Examples

[bg] possessive adjectives: майчина любов / maychina lyubov “mother’s love”
