Degree of comparison

These attribute values also apply to Dutch. In the Lemmas Lexicon, the degree of comparison is marked with `Yes' tags for positive, comparative and superlative. The tags in the table below, however, are single or composed Flection Type tags from the Wordforms tag set. The single tags mark non-inflected forms, the composed tags inflected adjectival forms. Inflection is expressed by the `E' tag, which means: ``with suffix `-e'''.

Attribute Value Du. example Du. tag
Degree positive (een) groot (huis) P
(het) groot (huis) PE
comparative (een) groter (huis)C
(het) grotere (huis)CE
superlative (dat huis is het) grootstS
(het) grootste (huis) SE

CELEX also attributes the comparative and superlative tags `C' and `S' to some adverbs: `vaker', `vaakst'.
