Syntactic annotation – quantifier and number phrases

Quantifier phrases (QP)

Usually, quantifiers do no project a QP and are host sisters to the noun which they modify.

A QP is only projected when:

  • A quantifier is not contained within an NP because it is extraposed.
  • A quantifier within an NP is itself modified. TODO: insert example of this
(IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (PPER wi)
                (QP *ICH*-1)
        (VMFIN moten)
        (QP-1 (DIA alle)   ← extraposed quantifier
        (PP (APPR van)
            (NP (DDARTA den)
                (NA gude)
        (VVINF leuen)
)

Number phrases (NUMP)

We follow the Penn scheme in using the label NUMP for multi-word numbers, or numbers modified in some way:

(NUMP (CARDN hundert)
      (KON vnde)
      (CARDN dre)
      (KON Vn)
      (CARDN viftich)
)

Note that the internal structure of NUMP is typically flat.
