UD for Telugu 
Tokenization and Word Segmentation
- In general, words are delimited by whitespace characters. Description of exceptions follows.
- According to typographical rules, many punctuation marks are attached to a neighboring word. These are normally tokenized as separate tokens (words); exceptions include abbreviations (the abbreviation-marking period is part of the main token) and hyphenated compounds (the hyphen does not split the token).
- There are no multiword tokens.
Morphology
Tags
- The Telugu treebank currently uses only 14 of the 17 universal POS categories, including particles (PART). There are no auxiliary verbs, symbols and unknown words.
- The pronoun (PRON) vs. determiner (DET) distinction is based on word lists because the traditional grammar does not define determiners.
Features
- The corpus currently does not include morphological features, except for NumType
=Card, marking cardinal numerals.
Instruction: Describe inherent and inflectional features for major word classes (at least NOUN and VERB). Describe other noteworthy features. Include links to language-specific feature definitions if any.
