VERB: verb
Definition
VERB tag is used for words with one of Japanese verb inflection types.
Basically it corresponds to PoS tag verb / 動詞 in UniDic.
A VERB consists of the stem and inflection parts as below:
Examples
- 遊ぶ “play” (
verb (general)/ 動詞-一般) - 遊ん だ “play”+PAST : だ is an auxiliary verb AUX, representing past tense.
- 遊ば ない “play”+NEG : ない is an auxiliary verb AUX, representing negation.
- 見 て いる “see”+PROGRESSIVE : a combination of て SCONJ and いる AUX functions as adding progrsssive aspect.
- 来る “come”
- 勉強する “study”: する is an auxiliary verb AUX, forming a verb noun into a verb.
The differences between VERB tag and UniDic’s verb / 動詞 tag are as follows:
- The stem of nominal verbs (so-called suru-verbs or サ変動詞) is also tagged as VERB, while in UniDic it is tagged as
noun (common.verbal_suru)/ 名詞-普通名詞-サ変動詞可能. Note that such a nominal verb is tagged as VERB when it behaves as a verb (typically followed by “する” or “できる”), otherwise is tagged as NOUN (e.g. 勉強 が好きだ “(I) like studying”). - VERB is NOT used for non-content (functional) verbs, while they are taged as
verb (bound)/ 動詞- 非自立可能, e.g. 食べている “eat”+PROGRESSIVE : such a functional verb (いる) is tagged with AUX.
