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. Note that
Czech grammar traditionally extends the term pronoun to words that
substitute for adjectives. Such words are not tagged PRON
under our universal scheme. They are tagged as determiners in
order to annotate the same thing same way across languages.
For instance, tohle “this” is traditionally called pronoun in
Czech grammar, regardless of context (the notion of determiners does
not exist in the traditional Czech grammar).
In UD v2, tohle is tagged DET.
Unlike in UD v1, we no longer use the dependency tree to distinguish between determiners and pronouns.
Instead, we use a pre-defined list of lemmas that are DET if their PDT tag indicates pronoun.
See also here for a Slavic-wide discussion of the distinction between determiners and pronouns.
Examples
- personal pronouns: já, ty, on, ona, ono, my, vy, oni, ony “I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they, they”
- reflexive pronouns: sebe, se, sobě, si, sebou “oneself”
- interrogative pronouns: kdo, co “who, what” as in Co si myslíš? “What do you think?”
- relative pronouns: kdo, co “who, what” as in Zajímalo by mě, co si myslíš. “I wonder what you think.”
- indefinite pronouns: někdo, něco “somebody, something”
- negative pronouns: nikdo, nic “nobody, nothing”
