Cross-Linguistic Variation in POS
• Each language has its own set of distributional criteria.
• Not all languages have the same sets of parts of speech as English. Some may have less (eg. They may not distinguish verbs from adjectives) or they may have more!

Subcategories
• Within categories we want to make distinctions. These are subcategories.
• For example within nouns:• Count nouns require a determiner, Mass
nouns do not:• *cat / the cat• sugar / the sugar
• We capture this with features: cat is of category N[+count]
