Classification of named entities (token-based, no nesting of entities etc.)
The feature applies mainly to the PROPN tag;
in multi-word foreign names, adjectives may also have this feature
(they preserve the ADJ tag but at the same time they would not exist in Armenian otherwise than in the named entity).
Geo: geographical name
Names of cities, countries, rivers, mountains etc.
Examples
- Երևան, ՀՀ, Եվրոպա, Գերմանիա, Վանա, Սևանա “Yerevan, RA, Europe, Germany, of Van, of Sevan”
Prs: name of person
This value is used if it is not known whether it is a given or a family name, but it is known that it is a personal name. We used this value for pseudonyms, nicknames, pen-names, foreign (mostly Slavic or à la Slavic manner) patronymics etc.
