Plur me te he

Colloquial Finnish and regional dialects include a number of variants for each, such as mä, mie, mää and myö for minä “I”.

Notes: indefinite vs. quantifier pronouns

Some descriptions of Finnish avoid the category label “indefinite pronouns” (indefiniittipronomi) in favor of “quantifier/quantifying pronouns” (kvanttoripronomini) (e.g. http://scripta.kotus.fi/visk/sisallys.php?p=742; in Finnish), while others recognize both categories (e.g. Voutilainen et al. 2012). UD Finnish only uses the PronType value Ind (indefinite) (See also the note on negative pronouns below).

Notes: negative pronouns

Finnish has no “inherently negative” pronouns (see e.g. http://wals.info/chapter/115) such as [en] nothing or [de] niemand “nobody” but instead uses a negator to construct such expressions:

Some descriptions separate pronouns that can occur in such expressions into their own subcategory of negative polarity (kieltohakuiset) pronouns (see e.g. VISK § 757; in Finnish). However, as the UD PronType=Neg feature only covers inherently negative pronouns, UD Finnish assigns the PronType value Ind to these pronouns.


Treebank Statistics (UD_Finnish)

This feature is universal. It occurs with 6 different values: Dem, Ind, Int, Prs, Rcp, Rel.

11735 tokens (6%) have a non-empty value of PronType. 772 types (2%) occur at least once with a non-empty value of PronType. 43 lemmas (0%) occur at least once with a non-empty value of PronType. The feature is used with 1 part-of-speech tags: fi-pos/PRON (11735; 6% instances).

PRON

11735 fi-pos/PRON tokens (98% of all PRON tokens) have a non-empty value of PronType.

The most frequent other feature values with which PRON and PronType co-occurred: Person=EMPTY (9260; 79%), Number=Sing (8841; 75%).

PRON tokens may have the following values of PronType:

PronType seems to be lexical feature of PRON. 93% lemmas (40) occur only with one value of PronType.
