Preliminary Recommendations

Type

There are three types of adverbs:

  1. ADV: general (i.e. non-adjectival)
  2. PWAV: interrogative or relative
  3. PROAV: pronominal adverbs. These are `da' or `hier' + preposition (such as `damit', `dafür', `dagegen', `daneben', ...), which replace a PP with the specific preposition.

Examples are:

``er kommt heute/ADV''
``er kommt schnell/ADJNA''
``wo/PWAV wohnt er?''
``der Ort, wo/PWA er wohnt''
``er besteht darauf/PROAV''

Semantic distinctions like time, place, etc., are not expressed in the annotations.
