| Values: | Art | Con | Dem | Emp | Ind | Int | Neg | Prs | Rcp | Rel | Tot |
The pronominal type of a word (pronoun, determiner, adverb and others).
Provisional schema and explanations.
Art: article (non standard)
This value is exceptional, since Latin, stably through its history, has never presented articles; it represents the encroaching of new Romance varieties into the written language.
