Preliminary Recommendations

 

Wh-subtype

Attribute Value En. example En. tag
Wh-subtype relative which PWR
other which PWQ

The relative and other Wh-type pronouns may be distinguished by the following examples: ``The shoes which she bought'' (PWR); ``Which shoes did she buy?'' (PWQ).

The other (non-relative) category includes interrogative and exclamatory pronouns and determiners. As these subtypes are difficult to distinguish automatically, it is convenient to bring them together under a single value other.
