Poss
: possessive
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.
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.)
