3.2.6.1. Notes

Type: The need for a negative value of the determiners' Type attribute is argued on the same lines as in the section on pronoun' s Type. In Romanian the negative determiner is expressed by the unit nici + indefinite article (e.g. nici un, nici o). In Romanian, there are specific forms for the so-called emphatic determiner, which may accompany both a noun and a personal pronoun: fata însăşi (the girl herself), also ea însăşi (she herself).
Person: This attribute is meaningful for the Possessive determiners and refers to the grammatical person of the possessor.
Owner_Number: This attribute is meaningful for the Possessive determiners and refers to the grammatical number of the possessor.
Owner_Gender: This attribute is irrelevant for Romanian.
Clitic: See discussion on Verb clitics.
Modific_Type: As mentioned in the corresponding section on Pronoun, the Modific_Type attribute is relevant for some determiners too. The prenominal determiner always precedes the noun (e.g.acest băiat - this boy), whereas the postnominal determiner appears only after the noun (e.g. băiatul acesta - this boy).
Although in traditional grammar books the demonstrative, indefinite and int_rel determiners are not characterised by person, in our dictionaries they are recorded (for reasons beyond morpho-lexical encoding) as 3rd person (the same as nouns). However, for the automatic tagging this value has been marked as irrelevant.

3.2.6.2. MSD Index

This index gives the list of morphosyntactic descriptions (MSDs) and their features. In the table below, the first column gives the MSD, the second its expansion into a feature-structure, the third gives the number of entries in the lexicon (428,093 entries), and the fourth gives some examples as word-form/lemma. The list was extracted form the Romanian MULTEXT-East lexicon.
