Preliminary Recommendations

 

Application to Danish

In automatic corpus tagging, the recognition and annotation of circumpositions is a special task to be dealt with.

At present, there does not exist a commonly agreed tagset for the three types of adpositions: simple preposition, e.g. `til', complex preposition, e.g. `uden for' and circumposition, e.g. `for ...skyld'. Furthermore, as in English, the genitive ` 's' may be considered as an enclitic postposition. The table below may be regarded as a proposal for Danish.
