Application to Spanish

The Eurotra dictionaries count pronouns as nouns. Among all the attributes used to describe nouns the following refer to pronouns:

1. Nform, which serves to distinguish between pronouns (valued pro or cli) and normal nouns (valued norm).
2. Dtype, which helps to distinguish between possessive (poss) and non-possessive (non-poss) pronouns.
3. Whmor, used to distinguish relative pronouns (valued as rel) and interrogative pronouns (valued as int) from the rest of the nominals (valued none).

By means of these three attributes we can distinguish between:

Sp. example Nform Dtype Whmor Class

casa normal non-poss none normal noun

yo pro non-poss none personal pro

este pro non-poss none demonstrative pro

algún pro non-poss none indefinite pro

mi pro poss none possessive pro

mio pro poss none possessive pro

cuyo pro poss rel relative pro

quien pro non-poss rel relative pro

quién pro non-poss int interrogative pro

me cli non-poss none clitic
