ExtPos: external POS
| Values: | ADP | ADV | DET | PRON | SCONJ |
This feature differs significantly from all other features: It describes neither the lexical category,
nor the inflectional paradigm slot of the token it appears on. Rather than to the individual token,
it pertains to a multiword expression and indicates the part of speech that the expression would get
if it were analyzed as a single word. ExtPos is annotated at the head node of the multiword
expression. The possible values are taken from the defined UPOS tags and no other
values are allowed (not even at the language-specific level). The main motivation for ExtPos is that
the multiword expression may behave like a part of speech different from the UPOS of the head node;
however, ExtPos is sometimes used even if it is identical to the UPOS of the head node.
In Classical Armenian, it is typical for heads of a fixed relation, and takes the values ADP, ADV, SCONJ.
ADP: adposition-like expression
Examples
- ի ձեռն / i jeṙn “by means”, lit. “to hand”; the first node is ADP.
ADV: adverb-like expression
Examples
- ի միասին / i miasin “together”; i = ADP
DET: determiner
Examples
- ոչ ինչ / očʻ inčʻ “none”; očʻ = DET
PRON: pronoun
Examples
- ոչ ինչ / očʻ inčʻ “no one”; očʻ = PRON
SCONJ: subordinator-like expression
Examples
- որպէս զի / orpēs zi “so that”; orpēs = ADV
