Preliminary Recommendations

 

Application to Danish

In general, the EAGLES attributes apply also to Danish, thus the scheme for English is applicable to Danish as well. Traditional dictionaries do not distinguish between conjunction types, but grammars do. The EDEMD uses the following additional features, as compared with EAGLES, within the description of coordinating conjunctions: conjunction (simple coordination) e.g. `og', disjunction e.g. `eller' and adversative conjunction e.g. `men'. Furthermore, a negation inherent to the conjunction is also catered for in the encoding guidelines.

At present, there is no common definition of appropriate tags for corpus annotation purposes.
