Category associated to verbs and referring to the way the grammar marks the duration or type of temporal activity. (http://www.isocat.org/datcat/DC-1242) Aspect is a grammatical category associated with verbs that expresses a temporal view of the event or state expressed by the verb.

constituentc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/olia/olia-top.owl#Constituent

In syntactic theory, a constituent is a unit of words that constitute a unit of multiple independent words. Formally, this can be illustrated by substitution (and other tests): "[The dog] bit Peter.": valid, "the dog" can be replaced by "lions" (etc.). "*The [dog bit] Peter.": non-valid, there is no valid one-word replacement for "dog bit". "The dog [bit Peter].": valid, "bit Peter" can be replaced by "slept" (etc.) Note that OLiA takes a theory-independent stance on "constituent". Constituent thus does not necessarily refer to a syntactic constituent, but to a node in syntax annotation that contains other nodes. This includes elements whose constituency has been debated (verb phrases), but also elements that are (potentially incomplete) phrase candidates (chunks). (Christian Chiarcos)

is defined by
https://acoli-repo.github.io/olia/owl/olia-top.owl
Applies to grammatical (morphosyntactic) markers of emphasis for languages where emphatic expressions are distinguished from non-emphatic forms. In Irish Gaelic, for example, the unmarked personal pronouns (e.g., sé, é ‘he, him’) is distinguished from the emphatic pronoun (e.g., seisean, eisean ‘he, him’). Beyond pronouns, also nouns can be emphatically marked, e.g., by adding a clitic reflexive element to them. (Mulkern 2007). (Ann E. Mulkern.

http://purl.org/olia/mte/multext-east.owl#NumeralAgreementClass
In most Slavic languages, Numerals and Quantifiers involve specific agreement patterns, e.g., in Russian:<br/> (a) SingularQuantifier (MTE v4: Numeral/Class="definite1"): requires noun in nominative singular, e.g., один год "one year" (b) PaucalQuantifier (MTE v4: Numeral/Class="definite234"): requires noun in genitive singular, e.g., два/три/четыре года "two/three/four years" (c) PluralQuantifier (MTE v4: Numeral/Class="definite"):requires noun in genitive plural, e.g., пять/много/сколько/столько лет "five/many/how many/that many years"<br/> Bulgarian has done away with the distinction between 4 and 5, and generalised the 2-4 form to all numerals (and some other quantifiers), but the others generally keep it. Also Slovene has a living dual (both Sorbians likewise, but they haven't been MTEd).<br/> Some Czech feminine and neuter body parts have preserved dual forms, and if the noun is dual, so are its attributes (adjectives, pronouns). So 2 differs formally from 3-4. The corresponding agreement pattern is a DualQuantifier (MTE v4: Numeral/Class="definite2"). (Ivan A.

In many Indo-European languages, proximity is a relevant feature of pronominal systems (e.g., Macedonian proximal vs. distal determiners, cf. English this vs. that). In several indigeneous languages of North America, proximity is represented by verbal agreement (then also known as obviation, e.g., Blackfoot third [proximal] and "fourth" [distal 3rd] person). As defined here, proximity is considered a morphosyntactic feature, because it applies to morphosyntactic *markers* of proximity. (Chiarcos)

In linguistics, a theta role or θ-role is the semantic role a noun phrase plays in a sentence. The term Thematic role denotes the same concept. As such it is a semantic rather than a syntactic feature, in contrast to such notions as the subject of a sentence or a prepositional object. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject_(linguistics). Originally, semantic roles were referred to as "case roles", leading to an unfortunate name clash with grammatical case (e.g. in GOLD CaseValue)

"By ʻspecificʼ and ʻnon-specificʼ I intend the difference between the two readings of English indefinites like (3): (3) Iʼm looking for a deer. In the specific reading there is a particular deer, say Bambi, that I am looking for. In the non-specific reading I will be happy to find any deer. Von Heusinger (2002) likes the test in English of inserting ʻcertainʼ after the ʻaʼ to fix the specific reading. In either reading of (3) a deer is being introduced as a new discourse referent. This is opposed to ʻdefiniteʼ which requires a previous pragmatic instantiation as in ʻIʼm looking for the deer.ʼ In English both the readings of (3) are indefinite. In Klallam, the specific demonstratives are neither definite nor indefinite." (Montler, Timothy. 2007. Klallam demonstratives. Papers ICSNL XLVII.

Here, it is extended to full and reduced adjective inflection in Slavic languages (cf. MULTEXT-East). May be renamed to ReductionFeature.

IRI: http://purl.org/olia/olia-top.owl#SyntacticRole

Traditionally, "grammatical relations" or "grammatical roles" are specifically those between the verb (clause) and its arguments/adjunct/complementizer. In modern corpus research, however, a broad variety of relations between nominal heads, their arguments, modifiers, etc. are distinguished and the scope of "Grammatical Relation" has extended here to cover these as well.

verb tense: property referring to the way the grammar marks (via affixes and/or suppletion) the time at which the action denoted by the verb took place. (http://www.isocat.org/datcat/DC-4964) Tense is a grammatical category, typically marked on the verb, that deictically refers to the time of the event or state denoted by the verb in relation to some other temporal reference point.

IRI: http://purl.org/olia/olia-top.owl#ValencyFeature

Current version :
EAGLES
Syntactic valency pertains to the number of syntactic arguments a verb requires. Semantic valency pertains to the number of arguments of a semantic predicate. If syntactic valency is greater than the semantic valency, an expletive pronoun may be used, cf. van Valin and LaPolla (1997) on the distinction between syntactic valency and semantic valency.

SyntacticWord is the class of syntactic units occupying the lowest position in a syntactic construction. They are the largest units resistant to insertion of new constituents within their boundaries; or they are the smallest constituents that can be moved within a sentence without making the sentence ungrammatical. (http://www.linguistics-ontology.org/gold/2008/SyntacticWord) Linguistic unit composed of at least a part of speech and a lemma. (Gil Francopoulo; http://www.isocat.org/datcat/DC-1415)
