SYM: symbol

Definition

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

We recognize as symbols:

The following are not symbols:

Examples


Treebank Statistics (UD_Italian)

There are 10 SYM lemmas (0%), 10 SYM types (0%) and 100 SYM tokens (0%). Out of 17 observed tags, the rank of SYM is: 16 in number of lemmas, 16 in number of types and 15 in number of tokens.

The 10 most frequent ambiguous types: & (SYM 6, PROPN 1), - (PUNCT 772, SYM 2), x (ADJ 1, SYM 1)

Morphology

The form / lemma ratio of SYM is 1.000000 (the average of all parts of speech is 1.488836).

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.

Relations

SYM nodes are attached to their parents using 10 different relations: it-dep/nmod (63; 63% instances), it-dep/dobj (13; 13% instances), it-dep/name (8; 8% instances), it-dep/nsubj (5; 5% instances), it-dep/conj (3; 3% instances), it-dep/xcomp (3; 3% instances), it-dep/nsubjpass (2; 2% instances), it-dep/mwe (1; 1% instances), it-dep/nummod (1; 1% instances), it-dep/root (1; 1% instances)

Parents of SYM nodes belong to 9 different parts of speech: VERB (52; 52% instances), NOUN (21; 21% instances), ADJ (11; 11% instances), PROPN (8; 8% instances), ADP (2; 2% instances), NUM (2; 2% instances), SYM (2; 2% instances), ADV (1; 1% instances), ROOT (1; 1% instances)

14 (14%) SYM nodes are leaves.

0 (0%) SYM nodes have one child.

8 (8%) SYM nodes have two children.

78 (78%) SYM nodes have three or more children.

The highest child degree of a SYM node is 5.

Children of SYM nodes are attached using 13 different relations: it-dep/nummod (84; 29% instances), it-dep/det (83; 29% instances), it-dep/case (57; 20% instances), it-dep/nmod (38; 13% instances), it-dep/advmod (8; 3% instances), it-dep/amod (4; 1% instances), it-dep/punct (3; 1% instances), it-dep/cc (2; 1% instances), it-dep/conj (2; 1% instances), it-dep/acl:relcl (1; 0% instances), it-dep/advcl (1; 0% instances), it-dep/cop (1; 0% instances), it-dep/nsubj (1; 0% instances)

Children of SYM nodes belong to 11 different parts of speech: NUM (84; 29% instances), DET (83; 29% instances), ADP (57; 20% instances), NOUN (35; 12% instances), ADV (8; 3% instances), ADJ (4; 1% instances), PROPN (4; 1% instances), PUNCT (3; 1% instances), VERB (3; 1% instances), CONJ (2; 1% instances), SYM (2; 1% instances)
