PP Fused prepositional phrase (e.g. de=graça 'for free')
VNP verb-incorporated noun phrase or nominal
VPP verb-incorporated prepositional phrase
VADV verb-incorporated adverbial phrase or adverb
Where secondary tags (shown as ) are retained in the analysis, adverbs (ADV)
and the pronoun word classes (SPEC, DET, PERS) are further differentiated into
subclasses, two of which ( [relatives] and [interrogatives]) are
functional features of a (shared) closed list of words so important for contextual
disambiguation, that I have chosen to disambiguate them "early", i.e. on the
morphological/PoS-level in spite of there not being any morphological or lexical
basis to make the distinction (which is really syntactic). Other secondary tags (e.g.
valency tags like for transitive verb) also help disambiguate the primary
[morphological and, "later", syntactic] tags (of other words), but are not
disambiguated themselves on the tagging or parsing levels. Like purely semantic tags
(e.g. for profession) they may, however, be useful for resolving lexical
polysemy on a higher (semantic) level of analysis.

(In this table, " ' " after a category means that the category in question for this word
class is a lexeme category, and thus derived directly from the lexicon. No " ' " means
that the category in question is a word form category for this word class, and thus
expressed by inflexion.)
