- Problem:
- In German, verb prefixes can be separated from the
verb. These stand-alone prefixes (PTKVZ) are ambiguous with
adpositions, particles, adjectives, adverbials. Dependencies are long
distance. Only adjectival prefixes are an open class. Too much noise
expected in cases like
- Woran machst Du das fest/PTKVZ? vs.
- Er macht Kissenfüllungen immer extrem fest/ADJD.
- Tagging practice IMS/TUE:
- Only particle prefixes and else untaggable
verbal prefixes tagged PTKVZ, all other like in normal contexts.
- Er stellte das dar/PTKVZ.
- Sie fuhr rad/PTKVZ.
- but: Er ging den Berg hinauf/ADV.
- but: Sie hielten das streng geheim/ADJD.
- but: Er ging der Sonne entgegen/APPO.
- Tagging Practice STTS:
- All these groups are considered PTKVZ.
- Er stellte das dar/PTKVZ.
- Sie fuhr rad/PTKVZ.
- Wie setzen wir das Auto instand/PTKVZ?
- Er ging den Berg hinauf/PTKVZ.
- Sie hielten das streng geheim/PTKVZ.
- Er ging der Sonne entgegen/PTKVZ.
- Tests:
- Type Ic, II?
- Definition changes: Add adjectival prefixes to ADJD class
- A new class for adjectival verbal prefixes, ADJDPART
