PRON: pronoun
Definition
Pronouns are words that substitute for nouns or noun phrases, whose meaning is recoverable from the linguistic or extralinguistic context.
Pronouns under this definition function like nouns.
The BulTreeBank annotation scheme adopted the idea that pro-nouns, pro-adjectives and pro-adverbs are labeled as Pronouns. However, for the mapping to the universal tagset, this group was split into several parts-of-speech: determiners, adverbs, pronouns.
The tags that correspond to Pron are: Pp#, Pde#, Pre#, Pce#, Pie#, Pfe#, Pfy#, Pne#, Piy#.
Examples
- personal pronouns (Pp#): аз, ти, той, тя, то, ние, те, него, го / az, ti, toy, tya, to, nie, te, nego, go “I, you, he, she, it, we, they, him.LONG.FORM, him.SHORT.FORM”
- reflexive personal pronouns (Ppx#): себе си, се / sebe si, se “myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, theirselves”
- demonstrative pronouns (Pde#): този, това / tozi, tova “this” as in Видях това вчера. / Vidyah tova vchera “I saw this yesterday.”
- interrogative pronouns (Pie#, Piy#): кой, какво, колцина / _koy, kakvo, koltsina “who, what, how many” as in Какво мислиш? / _Kakvo mislish? “What do you think?”
- relative pronouns (Pre#): който, каквото / _koyto, kakvoto “who, what” as in Човекът, който дойде, е баща ми. /Chovekat, koyto doyde, e bashta mi “The person who came is my father.”
- indefinite pronouns (Pfe#, Pfy#): някой, нещо, неколцина / nyakoy, neshto, nekoltsina “somebody, something, some, anybody, anything, any”
- collective pronouns (Pce#): всеки, всичко / vseki, vsichko “everybody, everything”
- negative pronouns (Pne#): никой, нищо / nikoy, nishto “nobody, nothing”
Note that the symbol `#’, used in the Universal POS section indicates a holder for arbitrary number of features, suppressed in the respective tag as irrelevant in the BulTreeBank tagset, when mapped to the Universal one.
