NUM: numeral

Definition

A numeral is a word, functioning most typically as a determiner or pronoun, that expresses a number and a relation to the number, such as quantity, sequence, frequency or fraction.

Cardinal numerals are covered by NUM regardless of syntactic function and regardless of whether they are expressed as words (fyre “four”), digits (4) or Roman numerals (IV). By contrast, ordinal numerals like første (first) are always tagged ADJ.

Note that in Danish the decimal mark is most often a comma. Thousands are then separated by either a space or dot.

Examples


Treebank Statistics (UD_Danish)

There are 453 NUM lemmas (3%), 453 NUM types (2%) and 1491 NUM tokens (1%). Out of 17 observed tags, the rank of NUM is: 6 in number of lemmas, 6 in number of types and 13 in number of tokens.

The 10 most frequent NUM lemmas: to, tre, fire, 20, fem, seks, 10, otte, 100, 1

The 10 most frequent NUM types: to, tre, fire, 20, fem, seks, 10, otte, 100, 1

The 10 most frequent ambiguous lemmas: 3 (NUM 14, ADJ 1), I (PRON 19, NUM 3, X 1)

The 10 most frequent ambiguous types: 3 (NUM 14, ADJ 1), I (ADP 216, PRON 14, NUM 3, X 1), VI (NUM 1, PRON 1)

Morphology

The form / lemma ratio of NUM is 1.000000 (the average of all parts of speech is 1.355873).

The 1st highest number of forms (1) was observed with the lemma “’90”: ‘90.

The 2nd highest number of forms (1) was observed with the lemma “0”: 0.

The 3rd highest number of forms (1) was observed with the lemma “0,15”: 0,15.

NUM occurs with 1 features: NumType (1491; 100% instances)

NUM occurs with 1 feature-value pairs: NumType=Card

NUM occurs with 1 feature combinations. The most frequent feature combination is NumType=Card (1491 tokens). Examples: to, tre, fire, 20, fem, seks, 10, otte, 100, 1

Relations

NUM nodes are attached to their parents using 11 different relations: nummod (1236; 83% instances), nmod (128; 9% instances), root (29; 2% instances), conj (22; 1% instances), dobj (21; 1% instances), list (17; 1% instances), name (15; 1% instances), nsubj (14; 1% instances), appos (3; 0% instances), nmod:poss (3; 0% instances), nsubjpass (3; 0% instances)

Parents of NUM nodes belong to 13 different parts of speech: NOUN (1164; 78% instances), VERB (116; 8% instances), PROPN (67; 4% instances), ROOT (29; 2% instances), ADJ (25; 2% instances), NUM (25; 2% instances), PRON (22; 1% instances), ADV (20; 1% instances), ADP (9; 1% instances), SYM (6; 0% instances), X (4; 0% instances), CONJ (3; 0% instances), AUX (1; 0% instances)

1216 (82%) NUM nodes are leaves.

198 (13%) NUM nodes have one child.

47 (3%) NUM nodes have two children.

30 (2%) NUM nodes have three or more children.

The highest child degree of a NUM node is 17.

Children of NUM nodes are attached using 18 different relations: case (172; 40% instances), punct (69; 16% instances), nmod (55; 13% instances), advmod (22; 5% instances), list (18; 4% instances), acl:relcl (16; 4% instances), nsubj (16; 4% instances), cop (15; 3% instances), conj (10; 2% instances), cc (8; 2% instances), nummod (8; 2% instances), goeswith (7; 2% instances), mark (6; 1% instances), name (4; 1% instances), aux (3; 1% instances), discourse (2; 0% instances), amod (1; 0% instances), appos (1; 0% instances)

Children of NUM nodes belong to 14 different parts of speech: ADP (176; 41% instances), PUNCT (69; 16% instances), X (33; 8% instances), NOUN (30; 7% instances), NUM (25; 6% instances), VERB (21; 5% instances), ADV (20; 5% instances), AUX (18; 4% instances), PRON (12; 3% instances), CONJ (11; 3% instances), SYM (7; 2% instances), PROPN (5; 1% instances), SCONJ (4; 1% instances), ADJ (2; 0% instances)
