VALENCY TAGS and FUNCTIONAL SUBCLASS TAGS<br />

Valency tags functional subclass tags are (somewhat idiosyncratic) lexicon tags that are used by the<br />

parser for the disambiguation of “ordinary” primary tags, i.e. morphological word class and<br />

syntactic function. Valency tags and functional subclass tags themselves are only partly<br />

disambiguated on the morpho-syntactic level, an important example for full disambiguation being<br />

the interrogative and relative subclasses of adverbs and pronouns. Tags expressing functional and<br />

valency potential can, however, be instantiated at a later stage, drawing on (then) established<br />

syntactic information.<br />

The list below defines the most common tags used:<br />
