DET: determiner

Definition

We follow the definition for DET proposed in the universal scheme.

However note that at the moment numerals are not consistently annotated as NUM, and are sometimes marked as DET.

For demonstratives such as ce …-là, ce …-ci (as in cet homme-ci, cette femme-là “this man, that women”), the first part of the determiner is annotated as DET and the clitic ci, là (which are split from the noun) are marked as PART.

Examples


Treebank Statistics (UD_French)

There are 32 DET lemmas (0%), 80 DET types (0%) and 61749 DET tokens (15%). Out of 17 observed tags, the rank of DET is: 12 in number of lemmas, 11 in number of types and 3 in number of tokens.

Morphology

The form / lemma ratio of DET is 2.500000 (the average of all parts of speech is 1.308112).

The 1st highest number of forms (16) was observed with the lemma “son”: leur, leurs, ma, mes, mon, nos, notre, sa, se, ses, son, sont, tes, ton, vos, votre.

The 2nd highest number of forms (7) was observed with the lemma “un”: L, d’, de, des, in, un, une.

The 3rd highest number of forms (6) was observed with the lemma “le”: l, l’, la, le, les, là.

DET occurs with 4 features: fr-feat/Number (61608; 100% instances), fr-feat/Gender (58560; 95% instances), fr-feat/Definite (53481; 87% instances), fr-feat/PronType (10283; 17% instances)

DET occurs with 8 feature-value pairs: Definite=Def, Definite=Ind, Gender=Fem, Gender=Masc, Number=Plur, Number=Sing, PronType=Dem, PronType=Neg

DET occurs with 25 feature combinations. The most frequent feature combination is Definite=Def|Gender=Masc|Number=Sing (17952 tokens). Examples: le, l’, l, the
