Preliminary Recommendations

Verb-Form and Mood

In EUROTRA terminology, Verb-form corresponds to the attribute e_mstype and its organisation is as follows:

Attribute Value Sp. example Sp. tag
e_mstype finite cantamos finite
infinitive cantar infin
gerund cantando gerund
pastpart cantado pastpart

As for Mood (e_mood in EUROTRA), we have three possible values:

Attribute Value Sp. example Sp. tag
e_mood indicative canto indicative
subjunctive cantase subjunctive
imperative canta imperative

It is not difficult to redistribute this organisation so that it follows the strategy suggested in the present proposal:
