Italian-specific decision tree

For Italian, a language-specific category called inherently clitic verbs (LS.ICV) has been defined. This implies a modified version of the annotation decision tree.

Steps 1-4 are still valid in Italian. But Step 3 should be realized with the decision tree below instead of the generic decision tree.

  • Apply test S.1 - [1HEAD: Unique verb as functional syntactic head of the whole?]
    • Apply the VID-specific tests ⇒ VID tests positive?
      • Annotate as a VMWE of category VID
      • It is not a VMWE, exit
    • Apply test S.2 - [1DEP: Verb v has exactly one lexicalized dependent d?]
      • Apply the test IT.S.1 - [CLITICS-ONLY: Are all lexicalized dependents of the verb clitics?]
        • Apply the LS.ICV-specific tests ⇒ LS.ICV tests positive?
          • Annotate as a VMWE of category LS.ICV
          • It is not a VMWE, exit
        • Apply the VID-specific tests ⇒ VID tests positive?
          • Annotate as a VMWE of category VID
          • It is not a VMWE, exit
      • Apply test S.3 - [LEX-SUBJ: Lexicalized subject?]
        • Apply the VID-specific tests ⇒ VID tests positive?
          • Annotate as a VMWE of category VID
          • It is not a VMWE, exit
        • Apply test S.4 - [CATEG: What is the morphosyntactic category of d?]
          • Reflexive clitic ⇒ Apply IRV-specific tests ⇒ IRV tests positive?
            • Annotate as a VMWE of category IRV
            • It is not a VMWE, exit
          • Non-reflexive clitic ⇒ Apply LS.ICV-specific tests ⇒ LS.ICV tests positive?
            • Annotate as a VMWE of category LS.ICV
            • It is not a VMWE, exit
          • Particle ⇒ Apply VPC-specific tests ⇒ VPC tests positive?
            • Annotate as a VMWE of category VPC.full or VPC.semi
            • It is not a VMWE, exit
          • Verb with no lexicalized dependent ⇒ Apply MVC-specific tests ⇒ MVC tests positive?
            • Annotate as a VMWE of category MVC
            • Apply the VID-specific tests ⇒ VID tests positive?
              • Annotate as a VMWE of category ID
              • It is not a VMWE, exit
          • Extended NP ⇒ Apply LVC-specific decision tree ⇒ LVC tests positive?
            • Annotate as a VMWE of category LVC
            • Apply the VID-specific tests ⇒ VID tests positive?
              • Annotate as a VMWE of category VID
              • It is not a VMWE, exit
          • Another category ⇒ Apply the VID-specific tests ⇒ VID tests positive?
            • Annotate as a VMWE of category VID
            • It is not a VMWE, exit

Test IT.S.1 - [CLITICS-ONLY] Clitics only

Are all lexicalized dependents of the verb clitics??
