In combination with the definite article, possessive adjectives become
pronouns:
If Det+X/type=poss, then (Det+X)/pos=p & type=poss;
if copula+X/type=poss, then X/pos=a & type=poss
|
pos=a & type=poss | pos=p & type=poss |
| Description | Example | Description | Example |
| possessive adjective | Ce livre est mien/pos=a & type=poss | possessive pronoun | Ce livre est le mien/pos=p & type=poss |
|
| Ce livre est nôtre/pos=a & type=poss | | Ce livre est le nôtre/pos=p & type=poss |
|
| Ce livre est leur/pos=a & type=poss | | Ce livre est le leur/pos=p & type=poss |
Confusions can be made between the pos-values determiner and adjective:
If X/type=poss + N, then X/pos=d & type=poss; otherwise, if copula+X/type=poss
or if Det + X/type=poss + N, then X/pos=a & type=poss
|
pos=a & type=poss | pos=d & type=poss |
