Preliminary Recommendations

Number

Number applies to demonstrative determiners and, in some cases, to indefinite determiners.

Attribute Value En. example En. tag
Number singular this, much DDs, DIs
plural these, many DDp, DIp

The number of the possessor is also distinguishable for possessive determiners. However, for the present tagset, this attribute is omitted, being unimportant as an indicator of syntactic function.
