3.3.7.1. Notes

The IPIC tagset defferentiates "adjectival" forms that are used to form composite adjectives like polsko in polsko-ukraiński. Such forms are considered agglutinating adverbs here.
Some forms can only be used in a fixed context, e.g., polsku in po polsku. They are classified as special kinds of adjectives in the IPIC. In the MTE version this information is preserved in the status of a "b(u)rkinostka". This term is devised by Magdalena Derwojedowa and refers to dependent words like Burkina which only make sense and can be morphosyntactically identified in a fixed combination (Burkina Faso).

3.3.7.2. MSD Index

This index gives the list of morphosyntactic descriptions and their features. The first column gives the MSD, the second its expansion into a feature-structure, the third the number of word tokens (100% = 730,518 tokens) tagged with this MSD, and the fourth gives some examples as word-form/lemma. The list was obtained from the IPIC with the help of the IPIC-to-MTE conversion procedure. Even though it is limited by the content of the corpus, it hopefully gives an exhaustive picture of MSD types for Polish. The numbers of tokens also come from IPIC, although during conversion word segmentation is revised.
