The MULTILEX standard proposes, among the syntactic properties of LUs, the attribute Advsubclass, which corresponds to Type, with 13 values based on distinctions of semantic type, plus the value other for adverbs other than those indicated by the 13 possible values. For each value application, tests and examples are provided (MULTILEX, 1993, 69).
The TEI also proposes values on semantic grounds.
In the GENELEX model, the values for Type are proposed at the level of syntactic specifications.
The feature Type was not proposed in the nucleus of minimal standard specifications by NERC, since most of the analysed tagsets do not make such a distinction. It appears difficult to map existing corpus tagsets onto the subclassifications of adverbs proposed by the values of this feature.
Another interesting fact is the inclusion of Particles among the values of the feature Type by the Leech & Wilson proposal. The treatment of Particles appears to be somewhat complicated: NERC suggests their inclusion in the preposition category; in GENELEX and MULTILEX they form a separate category without any attribute.
In the present EAGLES proposal, the values proposed for the feature Type at Level 1 (recommended) reflect a first distinction between general adverbs and particles.
All further language-specific or application-dependent distinctions can be made at Level 2b.
