lemmaprovides a lemma (base form) for the word, typically uninflected and serving both as an identifier (e.g. in dictionary contexts, as a headword), and as a basis for potential inflections.
Status Optional

<w lemma="Arznei">Artzeneyen</w>
lemmaRefprovides a pointer to a definition of the lemma for the word, for example in an online lexicon.

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.).

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).

reg(regular form) provides the normalized/standardized form if a token is written in non-standard orthography.

joinwhen present, it provides information on whether the token in question is adjacent to another, and if so, on which side. The definition of this attribute is adapted from ISO MAF (Morpho-syntactic Annotation Framework), ISO 24611:2012.
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.text
Legal values are:
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.

The English sentence ‘We're going on vacation.’ tagged with the CLAWS-5 tagset, arranged sequentially, tagged on the assumption that only the lack of the preceding whitespace is indicated.

<p>
 <w pos="PNP">We</w>
 <w pos="VBB" join="left">'re</w>
 <w pos="VVG">going</w>
 <w pos="PRP">on</w>
 <w pos="NN1">vacation</w>
 <pc pos="PUN" join="left">.</pc>
