Tags for governing abbreviations in preprocessing

+Gram/TAbbr: Transitive abbreviation (it needs an argument)
+Gram/NoAbbr: Intransitive abbreviations that are homonymous with more frequent words. They should only be considered abbreviations in the middle of a sentence.
+Gram/TNumAbbr: Transitive abbreviation if the following constituent is numeric
+Gram/NumNoAbbr: Transitive abbreviations for which numerals are complements and normal words. The abbreviation usage the sentence can be considered as true cases.
+Gram/TIAbbr: Both transitive and intransitive abbreviation
+Gram/IAbbr: Intransitive abbreviation (it takes no argument)
+Gram/3syll: trisyllabic verbs
+Span - used for numerical expressions denoting spans or intervals, like 5-10, 2012-2015, etc

Derivation tags

The derivation position tags.

The tag +Der

All non-positional derivations should be preceded by this tag, to make it possible to target regular expressions at all derivations in a language-independent way: just specify +Der|+Der1 .. +Der5 and you are set.

+Der is the tag to put before the other der tags.

Compound tags

These tags describe the parts of the compound.

The prefix (before “/”) is Cmp.

+Cmp/Hyph compounds where first part ends in -
+Cmp/SgNom compounds where first part is Sg Nom
+Cmp/PlNom compounds where first part is Pl Nom
+Cmp/Attr compounds where first part is Attr
+Cmp/SgGen compounds where first part is Sg Gen
+Cmp/PlGen compounds where first part is Pl Gen
+Cmp/SplitR compounds where first part is a split compound hmm
+Cmp/Sh compounds where first part is a short form
+Cmp This tag to mark there is a compound. It comes after the Cmp/xxx tag.

These tags govern the parts of the compound

The prefix (before “/”) is CmpNP: (meaning: this is the normative position of thus tag)

+CmpNP/All - … in all positions, default, this tag does not have to be written
+CmpNP/First - … only be first part in a compound or alone
+CmpNP/Pref - … only first part in a compound, NEVER alone
+CmpNP/Last - … only be last part in a compound or alone
+CmpNP/Suff - … only last part in a compound, NEVER alone
+CmpNP/None - … does not take part in compounds
+CmpNP/Only - … only be part of a compound, i.e. can never be used alone, but can appear in any position

The prefix (before “/”) is CmpN: (meaning: this is the normative position of thus tag) The tagged part of the compound should make a compound using:

+CmpN/SgN Singular Nominative
+CmpN/SgG Singular Genitive
+CmpN/PlG Plural Genitive

Unmarked = Default, ie +CmpN/SgN for SMN.

The second part of the compound may require that the previous (left part) is:

+CmpN/SgNomLeft Singular Nominative
+CmpN/SgGenLeft Singular Genitive
+CmpN/PlGenLeft Plural Genitive

Flag diacritics

We have manually optimised the structure of our lexicon using following flag diacritics to restrict morhpological combinatorics - only allow compounds with verbs if the verb is further derived into a noun again. The P sets positive value, the C clears it.

Flag	Explanation
@P.NeedNoun.ON@	(Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised
@D.NeedNoun.ON@	(Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised
@C.NeedNoun@	(Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised
@R.NeedNoun.ON@	(Dis)allow compounds with verbs unless nominalised
@D.ErrOrth.ON@	Disallow ErrOrth
@C.ErrOrth@	Clear ErrOrth flag
@P.ErrOrth.ON@	Set positive value for ErrOrth flag
@R.ErrOrth.ON@	Reset ErrOrth Flag

For languages that allow compounding, the following flag diacritics are needed to control position-based compounding restrictions for nominals. Their use is handled automatically if combined with +CmpN/xxx tags. If not used, they will do no harm.

Flag	Explanation
@P.CmpFrst.FALSE@	Require that words tagged as such only appear first
@D.CmpPref.TRUE@	Block such words from entering ENDLEX
@P.CmpPref.FALSE@	Block these words from making further compounds
@D.CmpLast.TRUE@	Block such words from entering R
@D.CmpNone.TRUE@	Combines with the next tag to prohibit compounding
@U.CmpNone.FALSE@	Combines with the prev tag to prohibit compounding
@U.CmpNone.TRUE@	Combines with the two previous ones to block compounding
@P.CmpOnly.TRUE@	Sets a flag to indicate that the word has passed R
@D.CmpOnly.FALSE@	Disallow words coming directly from root.
@D.CmpHyph.TRUE@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@U.CmpHyph.FALSE@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@U.CmpHyph.TRUE@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@C.CmpHyph@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@P.CmpHyph.TRUE@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns
@N.CmpHyph.TRUE@	Flag to control hyphenated compounds like proper nouns

Use the following flag diacritics to control downcasing of derived proper nouns (e.g. Finnish Pariisi -> pariisilainen). See e.g. North Sámi for how to use these flags. There exists a ready-made regex that will do the actual down-casing given the proper use of these flags.

Flag	Explanation
@U.Cap.Obl@	Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj.
@U.Cap.Opt@	Allowing downcasing of derived names: deatnulasj.
@U.NeedsVowRed.OFF@	is used to force hyphenation/non-reduction: samediggi-
@U.NeedsVowRed.ON@	is used to force reduction w/o hyphen: samedigge#xxx
@C.NeedsVowRed@	Clearing this feature, so that it doesn’t interfere with further compounding

Use the following flag diacritics to control harmony in numeral case inflection
