3.1.7.1. Notes
No distinction has been made between different types of "modifier"
adverbs ("sentence-modifying", "VP-modifying", etc.), since their
distributions overlap considerably.
3.1.7.2. MSD Index
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.
