Variant: alternative form of word
| Values: | Long | Short |
Sometimes there are multiple word forms for the same lemma and set of features.
The Variant feature helps distinguish alternate forms.
In Polish there are two groups of words where double forms are regular and worth capturing:
short forms of adjectives and short (clitic) forms of personal pronouns.
For adjectives, only the short form is explicitly annotated while the standard long form has the
Variant feature unspecified.
Long: long form of personal pronouns
Some personal pronouns have double forms.
Examples
- mnie “me”
Short: short form of adjectives or personal pronouns
The short form is called nominal form of adjective, as opposed to the long form, which is pronominal because it originated as a combination of a nominal form and a personal pronoun.
Examples
- ciekaw “curious”
- Long equivalent: ciekawy
Some personal pronouns have double forms.
- _mi “me”
