trevelyan Posted August 4, 2005 at 06:52 AM Report Posted August 4, 2005 at 06:52 AM This is a list of the general semantic and ontological tags supported by the Adso database and software. We'll try to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. If you edit the database to include this tag information, please remember to provide it in the uppercase as listed below: Two notes: (1) Suggestions for new parts of speech / ontological tags are welcome. (2) the software works by pattern matching, so all words marked CHINESEPERSON will be treated as a subset of PERSON. This means you should avoid creating new tags which contain other tags as substrings unless the implied logical relationship holds. ADDRESS Assignations like "Doctor", "Vice President", and "Chairman". Frequently followed by personal names ADJT English Adjectives and Chinese Xingrongci ADVB Adverbs -- words like "happily", "quickly", etc. AUXV Auxiliary Verbs -- also known as "helper verbs", auxiliary verbs are words like "can", "should", "must". Note the uniform conjugation of the following verb CAD Chinese Adverbs of Degree like "hen3" or "tai4". These words precede Xingrongci. CHENGYU Chengyu or Chinese idioms CHINESEPERSON Full Chinese personal name like "Jackie Chan", "Jiang Zemin", etc. CITY Cities and towns COUNTRY Countries DATE Dates DOUBLENAME Chinese family names that consist of two rather than once character (eg. 第五). EARTHLY The twelve earthly branches associated with Chinese astrology. FEMALE Indicates a feminine word. Almost always used in combination with personal names, as in the tag FEMALEPERSON. HEAVENLY The ten heavenly stems associated with Chinese astrology. MALE Indicates a masculine word. Almost always used in combination with personal names, as in the tag MALEPERSON.

QUESTION Question words like "what", "how", "why", etc. SLANG Slang -- note that slang can be marked with additional tags to suggest the origin of the phrase. The structure for these tags is to provide the pinyin of the source and add "HUA" to the end, such as DONGBEIHUA or SHANGHAIHUA or HEIHUA SWAN Starting with a number -- tag for words or pharses that start with a number. This helps the grammar engine. TIME Times XING Xingrongci are a special subset of Adjectives which can be preceeded by Chinese Adverbs of Degree. VERB Verbs ----- Regional Slang ----- BEIJINGHUA Beijing dialect DONGBEIHUA Northeastern dialect HEIHUA A rustic kind of bandit slang formerly common in Northern China SHANGHAIHUA Shanghai dialect Quote
