Other tags:
<pre>
<j/> (in stream format #) is to mark multiwords

<t/> and <v/> are only in crossdix
t = template, v = variable
t matches any single tag, v is like + in regexes (0 or more)

<sa/> and <prm/> are only used in metadixes.
'sa' lets you add n optional extra tag, prm is an extra string for the paradigm

==Scraping this page==

This page should be relatively scrapeable if requested with <code>?action=raw</code>.

Section headers which precede tables all have <code>=</code> as the first character of the line and have a category name without spaces in a comment.

Lines that define tags begin with <code>| &lt;code&gt;</code>. Splitting a line on <code>||</code> gives either 3 or 4 columns. The 4th column can be split on spaces to give UD POS tags and feature values or the word <code>or</code>. These are mixed together but features have <code>=</code> and POS tags don't. A line might be followed by a comment containing either <code>unknown</code> or <code>default</code>, which indicate a placeholder tag or a tag which is commonly used when the correct value cannot be determined, respectively.

A Python scraper script can be found at https://github.com/mr-martian/apertium-recursive-learning/blob/master/tags.py

This page lists the symbols in Apertium used to denote part-of-speech and further morphological features, as well as chunk tags used for more syntactic functions, as well as XML tags.

This page also documents alignment between Apertium morphological tags and Universal Dependencies POS tags and features.


This is meant to be a glossary of symbol names in alphabetical order with notes. Some of these names are specific to particular packages or language pairs, as not all languages have the same grammatical features (most don't have spatial distinction in articles for example).

If you were wondering what the symbols #, /, @, +, ~ or * mean, read Apertium stream format.

Scraping this page[edit]

This page should be relatively scrapeable if requested with ?action=raw.

Section headers which precede tables all have = as the first character of the line and have a category name without spaces in a comment.

Lines that define tags begin with | <code>. Splitting a line on || gives either 3 or 4 columns. The 4th column can be split on spaces to give UD POS tags and feature values or the word or. These are mixed together but features have = and POS tags don't. A line might be followed by a comment containing either unknown or default, which indicate a placeholder tag or a tag which is commonly used when the correct value cannot be determined, respectively.

A Python scraper script can be found at https://github.com/mr-martian/apertium-recursive-learning/blob/master/tags.py
