Examples:
The next constraint states a high incompatibility for a word
being a definite determiner (DA*) if the next word is a personal form
of a verb (VMI*):
-8.143 DA* (1 VMI*);
The next constraint states a very high compatibility for the
word mucho (much) being an indefinite determiner (DI*)
-and thus not being a pronoun or an adverb, or any
other analysis it may have- if the following word is a noun (NC*):
60.0 DI* (mucho) (1 NC*);
The next constraint states a positive compatibility value for
a word being a noun (NC*) if somewhere to its left
there is a determiner or an adjective (DA* or AQ*), and
between them there is not any other noun:
5.0 NC* (-1* DA* or AQ* barrier NC*);
The next constraint states a positive compatibility value for
a word being a masculine noun (NCM*) if the word to its
left is a masculine determiner. It refers to a previously
defined SET which should contain the list of all tags
that are masculine determiners. This rule could be useful to
correctly tag Spanish words which have two different NC
analysis differing in gender: e.g. el cura (the priest)
vs. la cura (the cure):
5.0 NCM* (-1* DetMasc;)
The next constraint adds some positive compatibility to a
3rd person personal pronoun being of undefined gender and
number (PP3CNA00) if it has the possibility of being
masculine singular (PP3MSA00), the next word may have
lemma estar (to be), and the second word to the right
is not a gerund (VMG). This rule is intended to solve the
different behaviour of the Spanish word lo (it) in sentences
such as ``¿Cansado? Si, lo estoy.'' (Tired? Yes, I am [it]) or
``lo estoy viendo.'' (I am watching it).
0.5 PP3CNA00 (0 PP3MSA00) (1 <estar>
) (not 2 VMG*);
