X: other


The tag X is used for words that for some reason cannot be assigned a real part-of-speech category. It should be used very restrictively.

A special usage of X is for cases of code-switching where it is not possible (or meaningful) to analyze the intervening language grammatically (and where the dependency relation flat:foreign is typically used in the syntactic analysis). This usage does not extend to ordinary loan words which should be assigned a normal part-of-speech. For example, in he put on a large sombrero, sombrero is an ordinary NOUN.


X in other languages: [cs] [da] [en] [et] [fi] [fr] [ga] [grc] [hy] [it] [ja] [kpv] [myv] [no] [ru] [sl] [sv] [tr] [uk] [u] [urj] [yue] [zh]
