Examples

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*);
