Preliminary Recommendations

 

Separability

This is tagged in the syntactic part of the Lemmas Lexicon with a `Yes' or `No' tag and in the Wordforms Lexicon with an `s' in the composed final Flection Type tag:

Attribute Value Du. example Du. tag
Separability separable geef aan te1s

geven aan tms
gaf aan ves
gaven aan vms

Separable verbal word forms have a verbal and a non-verbal part and may occur at different places in the sentence. So another solution (in terms of corpus linguistics) would be to tag the verbal part as a separable verb form and the prepositional part as the non-verbal part of a separable verb, this last feature becoming a value of Adposition.
