Application to Greek

For the classification of the items that fall under the categories of Pronouns and Determiners, the ILSP Morphological Lexicon followed the traditional grammar distinctions. Although, as mentioned in the relevant section, absolute pronouns can be considered only the personal and demonstrative pronouns, we have included (in a broad interpretation of the term) all adjectival pronouns as well.

Furthermore, it is the case that certain indefinite pronouns have a strong quantificational character; such cases are `arketoi' (`several'), `merikoi' or 'kamposoi' (`some'), `kanenas' (`none'). Based on their distributional behaviour, we could classify these as Determiners: they appear right before the Noun, or alone, they are never modified by degree adverbials, they are never introduced by articles, etc. However, we opted for the traditional classification of all these items under the category of Pronouns. Thus, since there is no attribute available for their coding (no tag assigned), no tables are presented in this section.
