PUNCT: punctuation
Definition
Punctuation marks are non-alphabetical characters and character groups used in many languages to delimit linguistic units in printed text.
In Classical Armenian, there is infixed punctuation (question, exclamation, emphasis and abbreviation marks). Such cases are annotated as multiword tokens, cf. զիա՞րդ = զիարդ/ziard + ՞ ‘why?’ (for more details see the tokenization page).
Examples
- Period: «b>։</b>>
- Comma: «b>,</b>>
- Exclamation mark: «b>՜</b>>
- Question mark։ «b>՞</b>>
- Emphasis mark: «b>՛</b>>
