NUM: numeral

Definition

A numeral is a word, functioning most typically as a determiner or pronoun, that expresses a number and a relation to the number, such as quantity, sequence, frequency or fraction.

Cardinal numerals are covered by NUM regardless of syntactic function and regardless of whether they are expressed as words (fyra “four”), digits (4) or Roman numerals (IV). By contrast, ordinal numerals are always tagged ADJ.

Note that in Swedish the decimal mark is most often a comma. Thousands are then separated by either a space or dot.

Examples


Treebank Statistics (UD_Swedish)

There are 483 NUM lemmas (4%), 485 NUM types (3%) and 1741 NUM tokens (2%). Out of 15 observed tags, the rank of NUM is: 6 in number of lemmas, 6 in number of types and 11 in number of tokens.

The 10 most frequent NUM lemmas: två, en, tre, 1, 20, 2, 1970, 3, 10, 1971

The 10 most frequent NUM types: två, tre, en, 1, 20, 2, ett, 1970, 3, 10

The 10 most frequent ambiguous lemmas: två (NUM 110, ADJ 23, PRON 1), en (DET 3843, NUM 92, ADJ 89, PRON 58), tre (NUM 67, ADJ 10), fyra (NUM 23, ADJ 9), sex (NUM 16, NOUN 1), tio (NUM 16, ADJ 2), fem (NUM 15, ADJ 4), åtta (NUM 5, ADJ 1), i (ADP 2512, NUM 1, NOUN 1, ADJ 1)

The 10 most frequent ambiguous types: en (DET 1286, NUM 56, PRON 43), ett (DET 599, NUM 31, PRON 4), sex (NUM 15, NOUN 1), I (ADP 266, NUM 1, NOUN 1, PROPN 1, ADJ 1)

Morphology

The form / lemma ratio of NUM is 1.004141 (the average of all parts of speech is 1.421413).

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

The 2nd highest number of forms (2) was observed with the lemma “en”: en, ett.

The 3rd highest number of forms (2) was observed with the lemma “tre”: tre, tre-.

NUM occurs with 4 features: sv-feat/Case (1725; 99% instances), sv-feat/Definite (92; 5% instances), sv-feat/Gender (92; 5% instances), sv-feat/Number (92; 5% instances)

NUM occurs with 5 feature-value pairs: Case=Nom, Definite=Ind, Gender=Com, Gender=Neut, Number=Sing

NUM occurs with 4 feature combinations. The most frequent feature combination is Case=Nom (1633 tokens). Examples: två, tre, 1, 20, 2, en, 1970, 3, 10, 1971

Relations

NUM nodes are attached to their parents using 14 different relations: sv-dep/nummod (1356; 78% instances), sv-dep/nmod (270; 16% instances), sv-dep/conj (25; 1% instances), sv-dep/nsubj (21; 1% instances), sv-dep/appos (20; 1% instances), sv-dep/dobj (18; 1% instances), sv-dep/root (16; 1% instances), sv-dep/advcl (3; 0% instances), sv-dep/nsubjpass (3; 0% instances), sv-dep/xcomp (3; 0% instances), sv-dep/acl (2; 0% instances), sv-dep/dislocated (2; 0% instances), sv-dep/ccomp (1; 0% instances), sv-dep/parataxis (1; 0% instances)

Parents of NUM nodes belong to 10 different parts of speech: NOUN (1266; 73% instances), VERB (233; 13% instances), NUM (107; 6% instances), ADJ (52; 3% instances), PROPN (45; 3% instances), ROOT (16; 1% instances), ADV (11; 1% instances), ADP (5; 0% instances), DET (3; 0% instances), PRON (3; 0% instances)

1063 (61%) NUM nodes are leaves.

446 (26%) NUM nodes have one child.

140 (8%) NUM nodes have two children.

92 (5%) NUM nodes have three or more children.

The highest child degree of a NUM node is 12.

Children of NUM nodes are attached using 21 different relations: sv-dep/advmod (289; 27% instances), sv-dep/nmod (243; 23% instances), sv-dep/case (180; 17% instances), sv-dep/punct (79; 7% instances), sv-dep/cc (78; 7% instances), sv-dep/nummod (64; 6% instances), sv-dep/conj (49; 5% instances), sv-dep/det (35; 3% instances), sv-dep/nsubj (12; 1% instances), sv-dep/cop (10; 1% instances), sv-dep/appos (8; 1% instances), sv-dep/mwe (8; 1% instances), sv-dep/acl:relcl (6; 1% instances), sv-dep/mark (3; 0% instances), sv-dep/neg (3; 0% instances), sv-dep/nmod:poss (3; 0% instances), sv-dep/acl (2; 0% instances), sv-dep/advcl (2; 0% instances), sv-dep/amod (1; 0% instances), sv-dep/dobj (1; 0% instances), sv-dep/xcomp (1; 0% instances)
