Preliminary Recommendations

Case

Pronouns seem to be the only class where the Case attribute can be used in French. As in the case of Italian, subject, object and oblique personal pronouns can be distinguished. Thus the EAGLES values nom, acc and obl can be used. The oblique pronoun is not coded specifically in the IBMF tagset.

Attribute Value Fr. example Fr. tag
Case nom tu PPER2
acc te PPOBMS

As in the case of reflexive personal pronouns, the IBMF tagset does not code the person in the object personal pronoun.
