3.4.6.1. Notes

1. The classification given above is considerably 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.

3.4.6.2. Combinations
Pos Type Deg Examples
R g p dobře
R g c lépe
R g s nejlépe
R g p tady
3.4.6.3. MSD Index

The list was extracted form the Czech MULTEXT-East lexicon.
