aa. ATR - Nouns denoting attributes of people and objects.
My Proposal : SEM>ATR – attribute

The correct is ATR. In the Tagset, it was represented as ATT, but it is now correct.

ab. CHA - Verbs of size, temperature change, intensifying, etc
My proposal : SEM>ATR – temperature

Both the Tagset and export_tagset had already this feature. As far as I can see, there was no problem with this tag.

ac. CMN - Nouns denoting communicative processes and contents
My proposal : SEM>ATR – communication

Both the Tagset and export_tagset had already this feature. As far as I can see, there was no problem with this tag.

ad. CMS - Commissive modality is a deontic modality that connotes the speaker's expressed commitment, as a promise or threat, to bring about the proposition expressed by the utterance. e.g., All elections shall take place on schedule.
My proposal : MOO>CMS – commissive

Mood and modality are different notions. The modality tags have been suppressed from the Tagset because they were not used in the UNL and NL dictionaries, but – in order to avoid problems – I have reintroduced them there.

ae. CMV - Verbs of telling, asking, ordering, singing
My proposal : SEM>CMV – saying

Both the Tagset and export_tagset had already this feature. As far as I can see, there was no problem with this tag.

af. DDX - Deictic reference to a portion of a discourse relative to the speaker's current location in the discourse
My proposal : SEM>DDX- reference
A question : shouldn’t it be a relation, linking the referee to the referent ?

This tag indicates an internal subdivision of the paradigm level and �that is the reason for not being listed in the tagset. It has been suppressed from the tagset.

ag. DEO - Modality that connotes the speaker's degree of requirement of desire for, or commitment to the realization of the proposition expressed by the utterance
My proposal : MOO>DEO – degree of requirement

Mood and modality are different notions. The modality tags have been suppressed from the Tagset because they were not used in the UNL and NL dictionaries, but – in order to avoid problems – I have reintroduced them there.

ah. DRT - Directive modality is a deontic modality that connotes the speaker's degree of requirement of conformity to the proposition expressed by an utterance. e.g., Stop!
My proposal : MOO>DRT – directive

Mood and modality are different notions. The modality tags have been suppressed from the Tagset because they were not used in the UNL and NL dictionaries, but – in order to avoid problems – I have reintroduced them there.

ai. EPI - Modality that connotes how much certainty or evidence a speaker has for the proposition expressed by his or her utterance
My proposal : MOO>EPI – certainty

My proposal : SEM>FIG – figurative

This tag indicates an internal subdivision of the paradigm level and �that is the reason for not being listed in the tagset. It has been suppressed from the tagset.

al. FLX - Used to trigger inflectional rules. e.g., FLX(PLR:=0>"s")
My proposal : Attribute>FLX – inflectional rules trigger
A question : how is this used ?

This is a system variable, and that’s the reason for not appearing in the Tagset. In order to avoid problems, I have created a new category “Others” in the Tagset that contain this kind of tags. The description of FLX is available at http://www.unlweb.net/wiki/index.php/Dictionary_Specs#Inflection_rules_inside_dictionary_entries.2A.

am. GPH – Spelling
My proposal : SEM>GPH- spelling
A question : how is this used ?

This tag indicates an internal subdivision of the phonetic level and �that is the reason for not being listed in the tagset. It has been suppressed from the tagset.

an. HUM - Nouns denoting people
My proposal : SEM>HUM – human

This was already corrected. It was represented, in the Tagset, as PRS, which was conflicting with TNS>ATE>PRS.

ao. JDG - Judgment modality is an epistemic modality that connotes the speaker's strength of inference, or degree of confidence in the reality of the proposition expressed by his or her utterance

A question : what is this for ?
My proposal : Attribute>MOD – illocutionary force

This is the tag for the attribute “modality”, which may have several values and have now been included in the Tagset.

My proposal : Attribute>NEC - contingency

az. TRACE – trace

A question : what is this for ?
