POS-delimitation tables

POS-Delimitation tables in the beginning of each main category section handle cases where confusion with values of other classes/features is possible (heading pos delimitation tables). The reader should note that the order of the pos-values in the pos-delimitation tables is dependent on the first occurrence of the value as a pos-value in this document. Therefore, the tables should be regarded as independent of each other. It is possible that the focussed value appears on the right side in one table (example: verb-noun delimitation tables on page ) but on the left side in another table (verb-adjective delimitation tables on page ).

An example of a POS-delimitation table is given below, in Table 2.
