`SYM`: symbol

Definition

A symbol is a word-like entity that differs from ordinary words by form, function, or both.

We recognize as symbols:

currency symbols: $
mathematical operators: µg / m3
’/’ used a separator: 2001 / 923 / CE
emoticons and emoji: :-)
URL’s and emails

The following are not symbols:

Proper nouns with numbers and special characters: 130XE, DC10, DC-10 are tagged PROPN.
Acronyms for proper nouns: UN, NATO are tagged as PROPN.
Abbreviated words: Sig. (signore), kg (chilogrammo), km (chilometro), dott (dottore) are tagged NOUN.
Characters used as bullets in itemized lists (*, •, ‣) are PUNCT.

Morphology

The form / lemma ratio of SYM is 1.000000 (the average of all parts of speech is 1.491677).

The 1st highest number of forms (1) was observed with the lemma “%”: %.

The 2nd highest number of forms (1) was observed with the lemma “&”: &.

The 3rd highest number of forms (1) was observed with the lemma “+”: +.

SYM does not occur with any features.
