Confusion with other values

Confusions can be made between interrogative pronouns and prepositions :

pos=p & type=int pos=adposition & type=preposition
Description Example Description Example
interrogative pronounIl veut savoir /pos=p & type=int   partirprepositionIl fait des économies pour /pos=adposition & type=preposition   partir

Confusions can be made between a relative pronoun and an interrogative pronoun:

Test
If X/pos=p introduces P', and if P' is a syntactic construction of certains verbs of P, like 'demander', X/type=int; otherwise, if X/pos=p introduces P', but if P' is not a syntactic construction of a certain verb of P, like 'demander', X/type=rel.

type=rel type=int
Description Example Description Example
relative pronounIl s'inquiète de ce que /type=rel   je faisinterrogative pronounIl se demande ce que /type=int   je fais
Il s'inquiète de ce qui /type=rel   lui arriveIl demande ce qui /type=int   ne va pas

Confusions can be made between the pos-values pronoun and conjunction:

Test
If X realizes in P' a verb argument position and if P' is a syntactic construction of a certain verb of P, like 'demander', X is an interrogative pronoun; otherwise, if X doesn't realize in P' a verb argument position and if P' is not a syntactic construction of a certain verb of P, like 'demander', X is a subordinate conjunction.

pos=p & type=int pos=conjunction & type=subord
Description Example Description Example
interrogative pronounJe me demande ce que /type=int   tu faissubordinate conjunctionJe suis sûr de ce que /pos=conjunction & type=subord   tu viens

Confusions can be made between the type-values int and excl:

Test
If X/pos=p enables an expansion E and if E doesn't realize a syntactic construction of the verb of P, X/type=int; otherwise, if X/pos=p realizes emotive or conative function (and if it doesn't really needs E as response to P), X/type=excl.

type=int type=excl
Description Example Description Example
interrogative pronounPourquoi /type=int   veux-tu vraiment payer plus?exclamative pronounPourquoi /type=excl   payer plus!
