X: other
Definition
The tag X is used for words that for some reason cannot be assigned a real part-of-speech category. It should be used very restrictively.
A special usage of X is for cases of code-switching where it is not possible (or meaningful) to analyze the intervening language grammatically (and where the dependency relation flat:foreign is typically used in the syntactic analysis). This usage does not extend to ordinary loan words which should be assigned a normal part-of-speech. For example, in φόρεσε το κραγιόν της she applied her lipstick', *<b>κραγιόν</b>* lipstick’ is an ordinary NOUN (it is a loan from French).
Αbbreviations should be categorized by their common use and not as an X, e.g. Κ.Ε.Α.Ν: ΚΟΜΜΑ ΕΘΝΙΚΗΣ ΑΝΤΙΣΤΑΣΗΣ “Party of National Resistance” should be assigned the PoS tag NOUNand the feature Abbr=Yes.
Tokens in non-Greek characters are assigned the tag X.
(Only the morphological aspects are discussed here; tokens morphologically tagged with “X” have a syntactic function that will be assigned to them at syntactic annotation time).
Examples
- H αναπαραγωγή δεν θα είναι εντελώς Lossless. “Reproduction won’t be fully Lossless.”
- Κάντο φοργουόρντ σε μένα. Lit. do it forward to me “Forward it to me.”
