Application to Czech

COP project 106 MULTEXT-East Deliverable D1.1 M --- 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 concerms 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 () over the letter u. 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 inanimate
   Nouns  have the  same form  in the  nominative and  accusative
   Case, whereas  the form of masculine  animate nouns differs in
   this respect.
2. The dual Number manifests itself only in the instrumental Case
   of 5
   Nouns denoting dual parts of the human body.
3. Czech   distinguishes  7   cases,  the   locative  Case  being
   obligatorily prepositional.  With most paradigms,  the form of
   the vocative differs from that  of the nominative in singular;
   in plural the form of the vocative is identical to that of the
   nominative for all the paradigms.

Notes

1. The  verb "to  be" in  all its  functions is  characterized as
   Type=c;
   Auxiliary verbs  Type=a do not  include the "to  be" and modal
   verbs.
2. The 'past  participle' is used for  expressing compound active
   past  Tense and  is encoded  analytically as  Type=participle,
   Tense=past, Voice=Active.
3. Passive participles are encoded analytically 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
   (qualificative) adjectives.
4. Adjectival  active and  passive participles,  e.g. "stoji'ci'"
   (E. "standing") or "ude<lany'"  (E. "performed" or "done") are
   classified as adjectives.
5. Negative verbs are marked  as Negative=y, whereas non-negative
   verbs are marked as Negative=n.
6. 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
   inanimate is neutralized in transgressives; thus, there is one
   masculine form and one  non-masculine (conflating feminine and
   neuter).
7. Gender and Animate values  correspond to those associated with
   Nouns  and are  necessary to  account properly  for agreement.
   Gender   manifests   itself   in   past  participles,  passive
   participles and transgressives only.
8. 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).
9. 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"  (E.  "to   be").  There  is  no
   intermediate hyphen standing between the Verb form and the 's'
   morpheme.

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
   'qualificative' value of the Type attribute.
2. Only qualificative (and passive  participle) Adjectives can be
   specified for Degree and for nominal (short) Form.
3. 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) Adjective.  The nominal form
   can be used in the predicative function only.

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 as is
   customary in Czech grammars.

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.

Notes

1. Conjunctions:  "abych",   "abys",  ...,  "kdybych",   ...  are
   composed  of the  Conjunction "aby"  or "kdyby"  + conditional
   particle ("bych", "bys", "by", "bychom", "byste", "by"). 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 specified.

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.
