This index gives the complete 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 (71,784 entries), and the fourth gives some examples as word-form/lemma. The list was extracted form the English MULTEXT-East lexicon.

These tags do not attempt to represent distinctions found in the various compound verb-forms. These are composed of a sequence of auxiliary and non-finite verb as follows:
future | will/shall + base |
conditional | would/should + base |
passive | be + past participle |
perfect | have + past participle |
past perfect | have-past + past participle |
present continuous | be + present participle |
infinitive | to + base |
So there is no "aspect" attribute or "future" value, for example.

1 | Type | qualificative | f |
2 | Degree | positive | p |
comparative | c | ||
superlative | s |
Gender, number and case irrelevant for English.
Attributive/predicative distinction reflects positional constraints - some adjectives ('mere', 'utter', etc.) only appear in prenominal position, while others ('awake', 'devoid', etc.) only appear in predicative position. Most can appear in either.
Since many English comparatives and superlatives are formed with more/most, "positive" cannot be interpreted as "neither comparative nor superlative". See "Adverbs".

"General" pronouns are those which are not personal, possessive, demonstrative or reflexive. The choice of these four categories is based on distributional facts, though at a rather high level of abstraction. They enter into anaphoric dependencies which are signalled morphosyntactically and are therefore (in principle) more amenable to automatic detection. Most general pronouns do not, although they too sometimes encode number information.
"WH" attribute added to allow for combination of possessive and WH in "whose".
