11000 | N (INFL) | inflection. The existence of this attribute indicates the occurrence of an audible morphological marking for categories like: person, number, gender, case, definiteness, etc. inflection doesn’t refer to zero morphemes or diminutive suffixes. The following rule applies: inflection is only tagged as such, if the word can also occur without the morpheme. The following tags give information about the inflection found: |

11200 | N (INFL) -(e)t | |
11300 | N (INFL) -e | |

Position |
|
12000 | N POS | Position |
12100 | N POS PRE-N | Prenominal For example a few books. We call few prenominal , because books is the head of the phrase, as follows from the agreement on the finite verb (there are a few books at the table). |
12200 | N POS N | Nominal This is the 'ordinary' use of the noun, as the head of an (argumentative) noun phrase. |
12300 | N POS POST-N | Postnominal For example: a bucket (of) ''blackberries. We call blackberries postnominal, because bucket is the head of the phrase, as follows from the agreement on the finite verb (There is a bucket at the table.) |
12400 | N POS FREE | Tag for nouns that are not part of an argumentative noun phrase. |
12410 | N POS FREE PRED | Predicative For example: John is (a) doctor/mayor. |

13000 | N (CASE) | Case Case is assigned to nouns only if the flection is audible. So, nominal nouns don't get this attribute. |
13100 | N (CASE) (OBL) | Oblique All nouns that have audible case flection, that isn’t genitive, will be assigned the value ‘oblique’. This value can be specified as ‘accusative’ or ‘dative’. If it’s not clear whether a consituent is accusative or dative, oblique will not be specified. |
13110 | N (CASE) (OBL)(ACC) | Accusative |
13120 | N (CASE) (OBL)(DAT) | Dative |
13200 | N (CASE) (GEN) | Genitive Value for nouns with genitive flection. |

Function |
|
The function of a DP (determiner phrase, noun phrase) is normally not incorporated in the tagging process. However, the assignment of the values subject (SUBJ), object (D-OBJ), indirect object (I-OBJ) and prepositional object (P-OBJ) is essential in order to be able to search the database, at a stage where (full) syntactic annotation is lacking. This value is assigned to the noun. | ||
17000 | N (FUNCTION) | Grammatical function |
17100 | N (FUNCTION) SUBJ | Subject Is assigned if the DP agrees with the finite verb in person/number. |
17200 | N (FUNCTION) D-OBJ | Direct object Applies when the DP is the direct object. |
17300 | N (FUNCTION) I-OBJ | Indirect object Is assigned when the DP is the indirect object (without a preposition). |
17400 | N (FUNCTION) P-OBJ | Object of preposition Applies when the DP is the complement of a preposition. |
