Within this category, two groups are recognised, exemplifed by the following:
This second group is given the value n (common) for gender in the lexicon, whereas in the corpus it can sometimes be disambiguated by the gender of the noun (see the Italian noun section).
It. example | It. tag | It. tag |
amico vero, amiche vere | A/ms | A/fp |
parola dolce, biscotto dolce | A/fs | A/ms |
insegnante capace | A/ns | |
Some adjectives are completely invariable: they have the tag nn for Gender and Number in the lexicon. Adjectives derived from Adverbs (`dappoco', `dabbene', etc.) belong to this group.
Attribute | Value | It. example | It. tag |
Gender | masculine | vero | A/m |
feminine | vera | A/f | |
neuter | |||
l-spec | common | dolce | S/n |
Attribute | Value | It. example | It. tag |
Number | singular | caro | A/ms |
plural | cari | A/mp | |
l-spec | invariant | pari | A/nn |
