VERB: verb
Definition
A verb is a member of the syntactic class of words that typically signal events and actions, can constitute a minimal predicate in a clause, and govern the number and types of other constituents which may occur in the clause. Verbs are often associated with grammatical categories like tense, mood, aspect and voice, which can either be expressed inflectionally or using auxilliary verbs or particles.
The BulTreeBank annotation scheme provides the following mappings here: main verbs and modal verbs.
Note that modal verbs do not have special labels in our annotation scheme.
Participles and gerund are considered also VERB. Below the specific labels that map to VERB are given.
Examples
- Vp# (finite verb): тичам / ticham “run”
- Vn# (impersonal verb): вали, трябва / vali, tryabva “It rains, must”
- V#cv# (past passive participle): намерен / nameren “found”. It is also mapped to ADJ in its attributive usages.
- V#cam# (past imperfective participle): четял / chetyal “He was reading”
- V#cao# (past perfective participle): дошъл / doshal “He has come”. It is also mapped to ADJ in its attributive usages.
- V#g (gerund): Идвайки / idvayki “Coming”
Note that the present active participle V#car# is mapped only to ADJ.
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.
