Experimental (and incomplete) OLiA Annotation Model for the Old Norse MENOTA annotation guidelines as adopted by Ludger Zeevaert (Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 538, Hamburg, Germany, project H3). Parts of speech only. Only tags actually used by Zeevaert in 2006 are represented. The original MENOTA guidelines can be found under http://gandalf.aksis.uib.no/menota/guidelines/. All section references here pertain to MENOTA v. 1.1; 5 May 2004. 2006 created from MENOTA v.1.1 (5 May 2004) for a data sample provided by Ludger Zeevaert (U Hamburg, Germany) by Christian Chiarcos Zeevaert's comments are directly integrated 2006-2007 maintained by Johannes Bubenzer 2010-04-08 updated by Christian Chiarcos 2010-04-14 validated Christian Chiarcos, chiarcos@uni-potsdam.de pos from data set provided by Ludger Zeevaert, 10.9.06, Johannes Bubenzer present participle AJ (no differentiation between attributive and predicative) V.Ind Cardinal ignored tense for infinitives V.Part inflected like adjectives (8.5.8.2), thus could be related to Adjective, too Ordinal not an own tag, but classified in this way, cf. 8.5.8.1 tense ignored person ignored actie and middle ignored morph class ignored Enc should be considered further C besides the sub-categories, C# denotes this class (8.5.11) 8.5.13 Infinitive marker (IM) The infinitive marker is undeclined and only marked as IM.

However, in some projects (i.e. the Old Norwegian lemmatised corpus) there is only a single category pronoun, and we have therefore added in ch. 8.5.5 a combined category, pronouns and determiners (cf. EAGLES, major categories). Nouns can be divided into two categories, appellatives and propria. They are all marked with an N for noun. ... In marginal cases, it may be difficult to decide whether a noun is a common or a proper name; in that case this field may be marked with an @. N Relative particle (RP) The relative particle is undeclined and only marked as RP. In Old Norse it usually has the form er or sem.
