Application to Czech

COP project 106 Multext-East Deliverable D1.1 F-- Czech

The application to Czech has been elaborated by Vladimír Petkevic, Faculty of Philosophy, Charles University, Prague.

Acknowledgements:
The most appreciated base used for the elaboration of the application was constituted by morphosyntactic tables for Czech elaborated by Hana Skoumalová. For all possible errors solely the author is to blame.

All Czech diacritical characters used have been encoded in the following way:

1.
The Czech 'hachek' diacritic ( ) over the following characters is marked by the corresponding nondiacritic counterpart followed by '<'. This concerns the characters c, d, e, n, r, s, t, z followed by <. For instance: t<

2.
In Czech, each vowel (a, e, i, o, u, y) can be diacritically marked as to its quantity by ' over the vowel. We shall mark it by ' following the vowel, e.g. e'. In addition to ' there exists also the ring sign (o) over the letter u. Here we shall use this notation: u0. Thus, there are the following vocal diacritical alternatives:

a' e' i' o' u' u0 y'

Notes:

   1. Czech  distinguishes masculine animate  (Animate=yes above)
   and masculine inanimate  (Animate=no) Gender. Masculine inani-
   mate Nouns always have the same form in the nominative and ac-
   cusative Case,  whereas masculine animate  Nouns have predomi-
   nantly the same form in the genitive and accusative Case. Mas-
   culine animate  Nouns and masculine inanimate  Nouns differ in
   accusative singular and nominative plural only.
2. The dual Number manifests itself only in the instrumental Case
   of several Nouns denoting dual parts of the human body.
3. Czech distinguishes 7 cases, the locative Case being obligato-
   rily prepositional. With most paradigms, the form of the voca-
   tive differs from that of  the nominative in singular; in plu-
   ral the form of the vocative is identical to that of the nomi-
   native for all the paradigms.
4. Verbal nouns are classified as Nouns.

Notes

1.  The verb "by't" (E. "to be") in all its functions is characte-
    rized as Type=c  (i.e. the copula), which clearly  is an over-
    simplification because  the verb has  more meanings (auxiliary
    etc.).
2.  Auxiliary verbs (Type=a) include  neither the verb "by't" (see
    above), nor the modal verbs.
3.  The 'past participle' in Czech is used for expressing compound
    active past Tense and is encoded as:
    Type=p(articiple), Tense=p(ast), Voice=a(ctive).
4.  Passive participles are encoded as:
    Type=participle, Tense='-', Voice=Passive.
    This encoding is  used only for the passive  participle in the
    predicative  position,   e.g.  "byl  chycen"   (E.  "(he)  was
    caught").  The case  marked passive  participles, both  in the
    predicative and in the  attributive position, e.g. "pade<lany'
    rukopis" (E. "forged manuscript"),  are be classified as (qua-
    lificative) adjectives.
5.  Adjectival  active and  passive participles,  e.g. "stoji'ci'"
    (E. "standing") or "ude<lany'"  (E. "performed" or "done", cf.
    Note 4 above) are classified as adjectives.
6.  Negative verbs are marked  as Negative=y, whereas non-negative
    verbs are marked as Negative=n.
7.  The term transgressive roughly corresponds to the term 'verbal
    participle'. The transgressives distinguish:
     Number (singular, plural),
     Gender (masculine, non-masculine)
     Tense (past, present)
    The Gender opposition of  masculine animate vs. masculine ina-
    nimate is  neutralized in transgressives;  thus, there is  one
    masculine form and one non-masculine (the form of feminine and
    neuter is neutralized).
8.  Gender and Animate values  correspond to those associated with
    Nouns and are necessary to account properly for agreement.
9.  Gender  manifests itself  in past  participles, passive parti-
    ciples and transgressives only.
10. Normally,  Verbs  form  the  future  Tense periphrastically by
    auxiliary  "by't" (E.  "to be")  plus infinitive  of the  main
    Verb.  In addition  to the  copula, there  are, however,  some
    Verbs  which  form  future  Tense  non-periphrastically,  i.e.
    synthetically (Verbs of motion).  Such verbal forms are marked
    as Tense=f.
11. The  'yes' value  of the  Clitic_s attribute  denotes a verbal
    form having the clitic morpheme 's' appended as a suffix. This
    's' morpheme  expresses 2nd Person  singular present Tense  of
    the auxiliary Verb  "by't" (i.e. the form "jsi").  There is no
    intermediate  hyphen  between  the  verbal  form  and  the 's'
    morpheme.
12. The  Clitic_s  attribute  is  specified  for  VForm=infinitive
    (VForm=n) and Vform=p(articiple) only.
13. Some  modal and  auxiliary Verbs  do not  form imperative  and
    transgressive.
14. The   voice  value   ('a'  or   'p')  is   not  specified  for
    VForm=c(onditional)  and VForm=t(ransgressive),  in which case
    VForm='-'.

Notes

1. Three  deverbative  adjectival  participles,  i.e. past active
   participle, passive  participle and present  active participle
   are not  distinguished. They are conflated  in the 'qualifica-
   tive' value of the Type attribute (Type=f).
2. Only qualificative (and passive  participle) Adjectives can be
   specified for Degree and for  nominal (short) Form. 3. The at-
   tributes Gender,  Number, Case and  Animate correspond to  the
   same categories  within the Nouns. They  are necessary for the
   proper account of agreement of Adjectives with Nouns.
4. The Formation  attribute distinguishes a  nominal (short) form
   from a so-called compound (long) form of an Adjective. The no-
   minal form can be used in the predicative function only. It is
   specified for nominative and accusative Case only.
5. The Adjectives  which have no  degrees of comparison  have the
   Degree value equal to p(ositive).

Notes

1. Gender,  Number,  Case  and  Animate  correspond  to  the same
   categories  within Nouns.  They are  necessary for  the proper
   account of agreement of adjectival Pronouns with Nouns.
2. Type=reflexive ecompasses all reflexive pronouns (se, sebe, si
   svu0j) as well as "se" in  its role as the obligatory particle
   of  reflexive verbs.  Personal and  possessive reflexives  are
   further distinguished via the Referent_Type attribute.
   "se" in all its roles will be marked as the reflexive personal
   clitic pronoun.
3. Pronouns  are distinguished  between having  a (syntactically)
   nominal and  (syntactically) adjectival function.  All pronoun
   types except demonstrative and  possessive can be nominal, and
   all except personal can be adjectival.
5. Referent_Type  is  used  to  distinguish  personal  reflexives
   (which include  "se" in all its  functions) from the possesive
   reflexives ("svu0j").
6. Negative and general Pronouns ("general" Pronouns concern the
   Pronouns like  "vs<ichni" [E.. "all"],  "kaz<dy'" [E. "every"]
   etc.)  are important  from  the  viewpoint of  their syntactic
   distribution.
7. The  Clitic attribute  distinguishes clitical  vs. nonclitical
   pronominal forms, e.g. "ti" vs. "tobe<".
8. The 'yes' value of the Clitic_s attribute denotes a pronominal
   form having the clitic morpheme 's' appended as a suffix. This
   morpheme expresses  2nd Person singular  present Tense of  the
   auxiliary Verb  "by't" (E. "to be").  There is no intermediate
   hyphen between the Pronoun and the 's' morpheme.
9. Owner_Number and  Owner_Gender concern the  possessor's number
   and gender, respectively.

Notes

1. The  classification  given  above  is  greatly  simplified  as
   compared  to traditional  Czech grammars.  There can  be other
   classifications as well, eg.:
   (a) syntactic: Adverb modifying a Verb
                  Adverb modifying an Adjective
                  Adverb modifying another Adverb
                  Adverb modifying a Noun from the left
                  Adverb modifying a Noun from the right
   (b) semantic   temporal
                  spatial
                  qualitative
                   ...
   We refrained from this typology here.
2. Particles form a separate part  of speech category (see below)
   as is customary in Czech grammars.
3. The Adjectives  which have no  degrees of comparison  have the
   Degree value equal to p(ositive) similarly as Adjectives.

Notes

1. Czech has only Prepositions, no postpositions.
2. For the  disambiguation of word forms  belonging to declension
   parts of speech it seems  necessary to include the information
   about the case which each Preposition requires.
   3.  A preposition  can be  contracted with  a pronoun;  such a
   preposition has Formation=c(ompound).

Notes

1. Conjunctions "abych", "abys", ..., "kdybych", ... are composed
   of  the Conjunction  "aby" or  "kdyby" +  conditional particle
   ("bych", "bys",  "by", "bychom", "byste").  These Conjunctions
   are therefore specified for Person  and Number for the sake of
   agreement relation.
2. The class of two-part Conjunctions has not been introduced.

Notes

1. Numerals have been specified as a separate category because of
   their specific  syntactic distribution. We  have specified two
   syntactic classifications by means  of the attributes Type and
   Class;  they  concern  different  syntactic distributions. For
   instance "ne<kolik" (E. "several") will be characterized as:
   Type:  cardinal
   Class: indefinite
2. Among   the  definite   numbers  there   are  four  subclasses
   (definite1, definite2,  definite34, definite) which  differ in
   the syntactic distribution and contain the following Numerals:
   {1}, {2}, {3,4}, {5,6,...}
3. Gender,  Number and  Case  correspond  to the  same categories
   within  Nouns. They  are necessary  for the  proper account of
   agreement of Numerals with Nouns.
4. In direct cases (nominative, accusative) the cardinal numerals
   belonging to class with one  of the values {fdiqr} (see above)
   behave like neuter Nouns in singular, whereas in oblique cases
   they behave like adjectival attributes in plural.
