PronType: pronominal type
| Values: | Add | Dem | Ind | Int | Neg | Prs | Tot |
This feature typically applies to pronouns, pronominal adjectives (determiners), pronominal numerals (quantifiers) and pronominal adverbs.
Prs: personal or possessive personal pronoun or determiner
See also the Poss feature that distinguishes normal personal
pronouns from possessives. Note that Prs also includes reflexive
personal/possessive pronouns (e.g. [cs] se / svůj; see the
Reflex feature).
Examples
- [en] I, you, he, she, it, we, they, my, your, his, her, its, our, their, mine, yours, hers, ours, theirs
- [cs] já, ty, on, ona, ono, my, vy, oni, ony, se, můj, tvůj, jeho, její, náš, váš, jejich, svůj
Int: interrogative pronoun, determiner, numeral or adverb
Note that possessive interrogative determiners (whose) can be distinguished by the Poss feature.
Examples:
- [cs/en] kdo / who, co / what, který / which, čí / whose, kolik / how many, how much, kolikátý / how-maniest (ordinal quantifier), kolikrát / how many times, kde / where, kam / where to, kdy / when, jak / how, proč / why
Dem: demonstrative pronoun, determiner, numeral or adverb
These are often parallel to interrogatives. Some tagsets might also distinguish a separate feature of distance (here / there; [es] aquí / ahí / allí).
Examples
- [cs/en] tento / this, tamten / that, takový / such, týž / same, tolik / so much, tolikátý / so-maniest (ordinal number), tolikrát / so many times, tady / here, tam / there, teď / now, tehdy / then, tak / so
Tot: total (collective) pronoun, determiner or adverb
Examples
- [cs/en] každý / every, everybody, everyone, each, všechno / everything, all, všude / everywhere, vždy / always
Neg: negative pronoun, determiner or adverb
Negative pronominal words are distinguished from negating particles
and from words that inflect for polarity (verbs, adjectives etc.) Those words
do not use PronType=Neg, they use Polarity=Neg instead. See the
Polarity feature for further details.
Examples:
- [cs/en] nikdo / nobody, nic / nothing, nijaký / no, ničí / no one’s (possessive negative determiner), žádný / no, none, nikde / nowhere, nikdy / never, nijak / no way (lit. “no-how”)
Ind: indefinite pronoun, determiner, numeral or adverb
Note that some tagsets might further subclassify this category to distinguish “some” from “any” etc. Such distinctions are not part of universal features but may be added in language-specific extensions.
Examples
- [cs/en] někdo / somebody, něco / something, některý / some, něčí / someone’s (possessive indefinite pronoun), několik / a few, several (indefinite numeral/quantifier), několikátý / “a fewth”, “severalth” (indefinite ordinal numeral), několikrát / a few times, several times, někde / somewhere, někdy / sometimes, nějak / somehow
- [cs/en] kdokoli / anybody, cokoli / anything, kterýkoli / any, číkoli / anyone’s (possessive indefinite pronoun), kdekoli / anywhere, kdykoli / any time, jakkoli / anyhow
- [cs/en] málokdo / few people, leckdo / quite a few people, kdosi / somebody…
Add: additive pronoun
This type is specific for Mbyá Guaraní. Additive pronouns are unspecified for definiteness.
Examples
- [gun] amboae “another / the other”
