UD for Ligurian 
Tokenisation and Word Segmentation
- Whitespace normally delimits tokens, and punctuation is separated from neighbouring words.
- Ordinary apostrophe elisions are split, with the apostrophe kept on the elided form: l’erbo “the tree” is l’ + erbo, and unn’atra “another” is unn’ + atra. Abbreviations and lexical hyphenated compounds remain single tokens.
- Multiword tokens are used for contractions of prepositions and definite articles: inta = inte + a “in the”, pe-o = pe + o “for the”, and scê = sce + e “on the” (note that in in scê, the preceding in is a separate word and only scê is a multiword token).
- Verbs with one or more enclitics are also multiword tokens: fâlo = fâ + lo “to do it” and anâsene = anâ + se + ne “to go away”.
Morphology
Tags
- Common auxiliaries (AUX) are ëse “to be”, avei “to have”, dovei “must”, poei “can”, savei “to know”, and voei “to want”. Vegnî and an(d)â are also
AUXwhen they form part of a passive. Independent lexical uses of these verbs are VERB. - The euphonic l’ before a vowel-initial finite verb form is PART, as in a l’ammia “she looks”. Article l’ is DET, while object-pronoun l’ is PRON.
- DET includes articles, demonstratives, possessives and quantifiers used with nouns. Ligurian partitive articles are single determiners rather than preposition-article multiword tokens; see the DET for more details.
Features
- Nouns have Gender (
MascorFem) and Number (SingorPlur). Adjectives, articles, and many pronouns show the same agreement features. - Finite verbs bear
VerbForm=Fin, Mood, Person, and Number. Indicative and subjunctive forms also bear Tense; conditionals (Mood=Cnd) and imperatives (Mood=Imp) do not. - Infinitives carry
Tense=Pres|VerbForm=Inf; gerunds carryTense=Pres|VerbForm=Ger; and verbal past participles carryTense=Past|VerbForm=Part. - Positive degree is unmarked; see Degree for the other values.
- Style marks expressive spellings (
Expr) and vernacular forms (Vrnc).
Syntax
Ligurian is pro-drop and has relatively flexible word order, although subjects commonly precede the predicate and objects follow it.
- Nominal subjects (nsubj) and direct objects (obj) normally occur without an adposition. iobj is reserved for dative clitics.
- The agent of a passive takes obl:agent. Other prepositional arguments selected by a verb or adjective take obl:arg.
- Subject-clitic doubling and other clitics with no separate syntactic role are described under expl and its subtypes.
- With copular ëse “to be”, including in locative clauses, the predicate is the clause head and ëse is cop. In existential constructions such as gh’é “there is”, ëse is the verbal head, the entity introduced is nsubj, and ghe takes expl.
Relations Overview
The following relation subtypes are used: acl:relcl, advcl:relcl, aux:pass, csubj:pass, expl:impers, expl:pass, expl:pv, nsubj:outer, nsubj:pass, obl:agent, and obl:arg.
