Treatment of individual words

For treatment of proper nouns, see proper nouns and especially Unique entities.

A

( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (NPR God))
          (HVP a)			← A = subjunctive HAVE
          (NP-OB1 (N mercy))
          (PUNC !)))

ABOARD

ABOARD and its variants are treated as illustrated below. See also AMID. 
(PP (P on)				(PP (P+N aboard)
    (NP (N board)			    (NP (N ship)))
        (NP-COM (N ship))))

(PP (P on)				(PP (P+N aboard)
    (NP (N board)			    (PP (P of)
        (PP (P of)				(NP (D the) (N ship))))
            (NP (D the) (N ship)))))

ABOUT

ABOUT in adverbial use is tagged ADV. See Number phrase (NUMP) for a common instance. 
(NP-TMP (ADV about) (D the) (ADJ same) (N time))

ABOUT as a raising predicate is treated as the head of a prepositional phrase. 

( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (PRO it))
          (BEP is)
          (PP (P about)
              (IP-INF (TO to)
                      (VB rain)))
          (PUNC .)))

ADIEU

ADIEU can be tagged as INTJ or as N. 
(IP-MAT (QTP (INTJ Adieu))
        (PUNC ,)
        (NP-SBJ (PRO he))
        (VBD murmured))

(IP-INF (TO to)
        (VB bid)
        (NP-OB2 (Q+ONE someone))
	(NP-OB1 (N adieu)))

ADO

ADOWN

AFAR

AFORESAID

AFORESAID is always treated as a unitary adjective, even in the collocation AS AFORESAID.

AGAIN

See also ONCE AGAIN. 

(ADVP (ADV again)		← no ADVP-TMP

AGO

AGO is treated as a temporal adverb (despite being derived from AGONE, originally the predicate of an absolute small clause). 
(ADVP-TMP (NP-MSR (D a) (N week))
          (ADV ago))

ALIVE

ALL

See also ALBEIT.

ALL is always tagged Q, but it is not always easy to distinguish its floated quantifier use from its adverbial/intensive use. We therefore (attempt to) apply the following default rules. 

( (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ (D the) (ADJ hyhe) (N masse))
          (BEP be)
          (ADVP (Q all))
          (DAN done))
  (ID CMMALORY-M4,7.197))

( (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ (NPR$ Gryfflettis) (N spere))
          (ADVP (Q all))
          (VBD to-shevirde))
  (ID CMMALORY-M4,38.1206))

( (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ (PRO$ hir) (N horse))
          (BED was)
          (ADVP (Q all))
          (ADJP-PRD (ADJ beswette))
  (ID CMMALORY-M4,626.3508)))

ALL BE IT (THAT), ALBEIT

Treated differently in the PPCME2 and in the later corpora.

ALL BUT

When used as a sort of qualifier, ALL BUT is treated as a measure phrase as follows: 

( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (PRO I))
	  (MD will)
          (BE be)
          (ADJP-PRD (NP-MSR (Q all)
                            (PP (P but)))
                    (ADJ overjoyed)
		    (IP-INF (TO to)
		    	    (VB see)
	   		    (NP-OB1 (PRO you))))
          (PUNC .)))

ALONE

When ALONE can be paraphrased by ONLY, it is tagged as a focus particle (FP). 
He is all alone/ADJ .

alone/ADJ of all the children

God alone/FP knows .

ALONGSIDE

Treated like ABOARD, AMID.

ALSO

See also ALSWA, NOT (ONLY) X BUT (ALSO) Y.

ALSO has its own tag (ALSO). In conjunction structures, it attaches as a sister of the conjunction. 

( (NP (NP (N fruit))
      (CONJP (CONJ and)
	     (ALSO also)
	     (NP (NS nuts)))))

( (NP (NP (N fruit))

	  (HVP have)
	  (ALSO also)
	  (VBN seen)

Middle English EKE is treated the same way. 

( (NP (ADJ gret)
      (N bysynesse)
      (CONJP (CONJ and)
	     (ALSO eke)
	     (NX (N trauayle))))
  (ID CMAELR3-M23,54.881))

( (IP-MAT (PP (P Of)

          (NP-SBJ=1 *exp*)
          (ALSO eek)
          (VBP spryngeth)
          (NP-1 (D a)
		(N seed)
                (PP (P of)
		    (NP (N grace)))))
  (ID CMCTPARS-M3,289.C2.48))

ALSWA

Middle English ALSWA, the precursor of modern ALSO, appears in various reduced forms (ALS, ALSE, ALSO), which can be spelled together or apart. Unlike ASSWA, which is always treated as a unitary item, ALSWA is treated as written. When spelled together, it is generally the special word ALSO, tagged with its own tag ALSO.

ALSWA can be used as an adverb (= IN THAT WAY), either as a modifier or absolutely. It is then tagged ADV when spelled together and al/Q swa/ADV when separated. 

+Gef +ge finde+d +tt +ge don alswa/ADV as +ge rede+d . +tonke+d god $. +georne

Riht alswo/ADV do +du

Al/Q swa/ADV me mai , mang alles kennes liues menn , sume gode and sume euele finden

Al/Q swo/ADV he de+d +to men +de sennen habbe+d forhaten te laten

ALSWA also has a prepositional use. It is then tagged P when spelled together and al/Q swa/P when separated. See also AS, SO, THAN (preposition). 

for alswa/P weter acwenche+d fur ; alswa/ADV acwenche+d sunne

Luue +dine nexte al/Q swa/P +de seluen

Al/Q swa/P +de angel was +gedriuen ut of heuene riche for modinesse , swa was Adam

ALTOGETHER

AMEN

AMID (and variants)

AMID and its variants are treated as follows. NP-COM is used only for the bare NP complement of MID when spelled separately. See also ABOARD. 
(PP (P in)					(PP (P+N amidst)
    (NP (N midst)			    	    (NP (NS difficulties))))
        (NP-COM (NS difficulties)))))

            (NP (NS difficulties)))))

AN

For cases ambiguous between D and ONE, the default is AN (D).

For AN meaning IF, see AND.

AND

AND is generally tagged CONJ. 
(CONJP (CONJ and)
       (FRAG (ADVP (ADV so))
             (ADVP (ADV forth))))

(CONJP (CONJ and)
       (FRAG (ADVP (ADV so))
             (RP on)))

( (IP-MAT ...
          (FRAG (CONJ and)

                        (IP-SUB (NP-OB1 *T*-1)
                                (NP-SBJ (PRO I))
                                (ADVP (ADV sincerely))
                                (VBP regret))))))

In numbers, AND now always forms part of the unitary number word. 

two_hundred_and_fifty-four/NUM

AN(D) meaning IF is tagged P. 

(PP (P and)
    (CP-ADV (C 0)
            (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ-1 (PRO hit))
                    (MD myghte)

APON

AS (complementizer)

See also AS, SO (preposition).

AS is tagged C in the following (relatively rare) cases.

AS, SO (degree)

See also AS WELL AS, SO AS (THAT), SO AS TO, SO (THAT).

This item includes the first AS in AS GOOD AS GOLD or AS QUICKLY AS A CHEETAH. For the second AS, see AS, SO, THAN (preposition).

When modifying adjectives, adverbs, or quantifiers in comparative or degree contexts, AS (ALS, ALSE, ALSO, ALSWA, etc.) and SO (SE, SWA, etc.) are tagged ADVR. In these contexts, AS and SO can be paraphrased by TO SUCH A DEGREE/EXTENT.

AS ... SO

AS WELL AS

When AS WELL AS functions like the correlative conjunction BOTH ... AND, it is annotated as similarly as possible to a conjunction structure. The phrase corresponding to the first conjunct is enclosed in phrasal brackets of its own, and the entire structure is enclosed in brackets of that same category (with the possible addition of an appropriate dash tag). AS WELL always attaches as a daughter of the higher phrase. When AS WELL follows the "first conjunct" and the second AS phrase is adjacent to WELL (as becomes more frequent over time), AS WELL AS corresponds fairly transparently to an ordinary CONJP. In the source construction, AS WELL (AS) precedes the "first conjunct". The second AS phrase is then generally extraposed past the "first conjunct" and is linked to AS WELL via an *ICH* trace.

ASSWA

Unlike ALSWA, ASSWA is always treated as a unitary adverb or preposition, as appropriate in context.

AY (see EVER)

A+TET

A+TET (and variants) meaning UNTIL is treated as a unitary preposition.

BACK

Locative or directional BACK is tagged ADV, not RP.

BECAUSE is treated as_written. When written apart, the clause following it is treated as a THAT complement of the noun CAUSE. When written together, the clause following it is treated as the CP-ADV complement of the complex head P+N.

BESIDE(S)

BID

BID takes both bare infinitive and TO infinitive complements. In the bare infinitive case, BID is treated as an inherent ECM verb on the grounds that the subject of the infinitive can be *arb* in Middle English. 
( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (PRO They))
          (VBD bade)
          (IP-INF (NP-SBJ (D the)		← postverbal NP = complement subject

		  (NP-OB1 (D the)
			  (NS horses)))
	  (PUNC .)))

In the TO infinitive case, the ordinary criteria for deciding between ECM and object control apply. The postverbal noun phrase is treated as an indirect object because BID can be used as a ditransitive verb (see below). 

( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (PRO They))
          (VBD bade)
          (NP-OB2 (D the)			← object control; postverbal NP = matrix indirect object

TO BID S.O. FAREWELL / WELCOME is always treated as a ditransitive construction; if necessary, VERY is treated as an adjective.

BUT

BUT can be tagged CONJ (the default), FP, or P. 
(NP (NP (N meat))

The distinction between the conjunction use and the other tso uses on the other is generally clear, but the distinction between the latter (FP, P) can be difficult. BUT is tagged as P if it can be replaced naturally by EXCEPT or THAN. 

nobody but/P you		← not the NOT/NE ... BUT construction

nothing but/P blue skies	← not the NOT/NE ... BUT construction

a speech which I should not have mentioned, but/P as/C (= EXCEPT THAT) it shews
in so lively a view the wretched situation of his mind at that time

yet he had no sooner accepted it, but/P (= THAN) he was thrown into great perplexity

Where replacement by EXCEPT or THAN is not possible (or at least not natural), BUT is tagged FP and attached as low as possible. The most common case is the NOT/NE ... BUT construction, where NOT/NE + BUT is semantically equivalent to ONLY.

Adjectival ENOUGH is a synthetic form corresponding to SUFFICIENTLY MANY/MUCH and is tagged ADJR. The annotation is analogous to the adverbial examples in the sense that the degree modifier, its modifiee, and the degree complement are all annotated as sisters. Unlike its adverbial counterpart, adjectival ENOUGH can precede its modifiee. The modified noun may be absent but is always implicit in the structure.

When used as a causal conjunction, FOR is generally tagged as a coordinating conjunction (CONJ). It is tagged as a subordinating conjunction (P) in the following cases, which are essentially restricted to Middle English.

FORASMUCH

In complex tags in the PPCME2, the AS in FORASMUCH is tagged ADVR (P+ADVR+Q). The AS clause is always labeled CP-ADV (not CP-CMP). INASMUCH and INSOMUCH are treated the same way (see examples below).

GO

The annotation of the GO (AND) ... construction depends on whether AND is present. With AND, the construction is treated as an instance of conjunction. Without AND, GO is treated as licensing a purpose infinitive (not a bare IP-INF, as with the TRY (AND) ... construction). In the latter case, the TO may be silent.

GONE

The perfect tenses of GO are originally formed with BE, but with HAVE in the modern language. The change spawns an adjectival form GONE, which is difficult to distinguish from the old participle. We apply the following diagnostic criteria.

GONE is tagged as ADJ

Otherwise, GONE is tagged as VBN by default (even though this is arguably not correct in certain contexts - notably, WHILE clauses).

HER

The morphologically ambiguous HER is treated as accusative by default (including when part of the reflexive pronoun HERSELF).

HOW BE IT (THAT), HOWBEIT

Treated differently in the PPCME2 and in the later corpora.

HOWEVER

In the PPCME2, HOWEVER is invariably tagged WADV+ADV. In the later corpora, it is tagged as ADV or WADV, depending on sense and context. In all corpora, the original wh- sense and the derived contrastive sense are distinguished at the phrasal level (WADVP and ADVP, respectively).

IF

IF is tagged P when introducing adverbial clauses and WQ when introducing questions (including direct questions) (parallel to WHEN). See Direct IF/WHETHER question and Indirect IF question for details. Ambiguous cases can be resolved by replacing IF by IN CASE. If the replacement is impossible or gives rise to a different meaning, IF is treated as WQ by default.

NAWIHT (see NOT)

NE

NE is tagged CONJ when used as a conjunction (like NOR) and NEG when used as negation (like NOT).

NEAR

When used adverbially to mean ALMOST, NEAR and NIGH are tagged ADV, and NEARER is tagged ADVR. See also Number phrase (NUMP).

NOT

NOT is ordinarily tagged NEG, but with the meaning NOTHING, it is tagged Q.

In early texts where NAWIHT has not yet differentiated into NOT and NOUGHT, it is tagged Q if an object is required, and NEG otherwise, even when it occupies a position not usually associated with NOT.

naht for hem seluen ane/FP

+De mann ne leue+d naht $be bread ane/FP

Focus particle ONE can appear in the genitive (when modifying a genitive). 

& in his/PRO$ anes/FP seruise hare lif lea+de+d
"and in the service of him alone [she] leads her life"
In all other uses (cardinal number, noun, pronoun, etc.), ONE is tagged with its own tag ONE (or ONES if marked for plural).

More commonly, however, a finite clause following PLEASE appears without an overt complementizer. In this case, the clause containing PLEASE is treated as a parenthetical, and the clause following it as the matrix clause.

Apparent uses of PRAY as an interjection are treated as parenthetical clauses with silent arguments (see below).

PRAY (and similar verbs like BESEECH, BID, CHARGE, CONJURE, ENTREAT, REQUIRE, SAY) can take IP-INF or CP-THT complements. In both cases, the (linearly) first object is labeled NP-OB2.

In cases without an overt complementizer or infinitival TO, the proper analysis is often not clear. By convention, such cases are matched against the following possible structures; the first one that fits is applied.

PRITHEE

PRITHEE and its spelling variants are always split so as to allow parallel treatment with PRAY.

QUOTHA

RATHER

Even though RATHER has no corresponding positive or superlative, it is tagged ADVR on the grounds that it behaves like a comparative in other respects (notably, licensing THAN complements).

When SHORTLY clearly means IN A SHORT WHILE, it projects ADVP-TMP. Otherwise, it projects a bare ADVP.

SO (adverb)

When not used in a degree sense (ADVR) or as a preposition (P), SO is tagged ADV. In its adverbial use, SO can generally be paraphrased by IN THAT WAY. See AS ... SO clause for a common case.

SO AS (THAT), SO AS TO

See also SO (THAT). See Degree and comparative constructions for background information.

When SO has a pure manner sense and immediately precedes a finite AS clause, the entire AS clause is treated as a PP, and SO as a premodifier. When SO has this sense, it is optional, and the entire construction can be paraphrased as IN THE WAY THAT. This construction is essentially restricted to Middle English.

When SO in SO AS clauses has a degree sense, it is tagged ADVR if it modifies an adjective or other adverb and as P otherwise. In both cases, AS is tagged as a preposition (P) taking a CP-DEG or bare IP-INF complement.

-WARD

When used as adjectives, combinations with -WARD (BACKWARD, DOWNWARD, INWARD, OUTWARD, UPWARD) are treated as unitary adjectives.

Combinations with -WARD that are used as prepositions (FROWARD, TOWARD, etc.) are tagged as unitary prepositions.

All other uses and occurrences are tagged with WARD, which is either part of a complex POS tag (ADV+WARD, N+WARD, NPR+WARD, RP+WARD, etc.) or a separate tag, depending on whether -WARD is spelled as a separate orthographic word. In the latter case, the -WARD is a sister of the immediately preceding word.

The first part of a -WARD compound is tagged RP only if it is on the list of adverbial particles.
