We assume that possessive applies to Portuguese pronouns. (Nevertheless, in the Portuguese GENELEX demonstration lexicon, the value possessive was included only for category adjective. This was due to the following assumption: if a candidate pronominal item occurs both as a noun phrase and as a modifier to a full NP, it will be categorised as an adjective, presuming that its NP-like realisation is describable as an instance of nominal ellipsis.)
