PronType: pronominal type

In English, this feature applies to pronouns, determiners and pronominal adverbs.

Prs: personal or possessive personal pronoun or determiner

See also the Poss feature that distinguishes normal personal pronouns from possessives. Note that Prs also includes reflexive personal/possessive pronouns.

The following pronouns have this feature:

• I, you, he, she, it, we, they, my, your, his, her, its, our, their, mine, yours, hers, ours, theirs, me, him, us, them, myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, youselves, theirselves

Art: article

Article is a special case of determiner that bears the feature of definiteness.

In English, the following three determiners have this feature:

• a, an, the

Int: interrogative pronoun, determiner or adverb

Note that the possessive interrogative determiner (whose) can be distinguished by the Poss feature.

In English, all words with the PTB tag WDT, WP, WP$ or WRB have this feature unless they mark the beginning of a relative clause.

Examples:

• Which one should I get?
• Who was elected president?
• Whose car is this?
• How old is he?

Rel: relative pronoun or determiner

All pronouns and determiners that mark the beginning of a relative clause have this feature.

Examples:

• The book that I read
• The book which she bought
• The book whose author was arrested

Dem: demonstrative determiner or adverb

The following determiners and adverbs have this feature:

• this, that, those, these, here, there

Note that that only has this feature when it is being used as a demonstrative determiner. If it is used to mark the beginning of a clausal complement or a relative clause it does not have this feature.
