@pos(part of speech) indicates the part of speech assigned to a token (i.e. information on whether it is a noun, adjective, or verb), usually according to some official reference vocabulary (e.g. for German: STTS, for English: CLAWS, for Polish: NKJP, etc.).

The German sentence Wir fahren in den Urlaub. tagged with the Stuttgart-Tuebingen-Tagset (STTS).

<s>
  <w pos="PPER">Wir</w>
  <w pos="VVFIN">fahren</w>
  <w pos="APPR">in</w>
  <w pos="ART">den</w>
  <w pos="NN">Urlaub</w>
  <w pos="$.">.</w>
</s>

@msd(morphosyntactic description) supplies morphosyntactic information for a token, usually according to some official reference vocabulary (e.g. for German: STTS-large tagset; for a feature description system designed as (pragmatically) universal, see Universal Features).

@joinwhen present, provides information on whether the token in question is adjacent to another, and if so, on which side.

Legal values

no

the token is not adjacent to another

left

there is no whitespace on the left side of the token

right

there is no whitespace on the right side of the token

both

there is no whitespace on either side of the token

overlap

the token overlaps with another; other devices (specifying the extent and the area of overlap) are needed to more precisely locate this token in the character stream

The example below assumes that the lack of whitespace is marked redundantly, by using the appropriate values of @join.

<s>
  <pc join="right">"</pc>
  <w join="left">Friends</w>
  <w>will</w>
  <w>be</w>
  <w join="right">friends</w>
  <pc join="both">.</pc>
  <pc join="left">"</pc>
</s>

Note that a project may make a decision to only indicate lack of whitespace in one direction, or do that non-redundantly. The existing proposal is the broadest possible, on the assumption that we adopt the "streamable view", where all the information on the current element needs to be represented locally.
