This is the head level tagset used in the Icelandic Treebank. The tagset is based on the IFD Tagset. Each head is assigned a tag (N-NSDIC in the example below):
<synttree>[NP[N-NSDIC[barni]]]</synttree>
In the example barni is a dative form of the Icelandic word for 'child'. The first part of the tag, before the dash, always represents the head type (roughly 'word class'), e.g. N for Noun. The extension of the above tag, NSDIC, means: Neuter, Singular, Dative, Indefinite (no suffixed article), Common Noun. The predashial head type can be one or more characters while the postdashial subfeatures are always one character per feature.
