Inconsistent UPOS for anyone, someone and everyone across English treebanks

[bguil]

These 3 lemmas (anyone, someone and everyone) are annotated inconsistently (either NOUN or PRON) in different English treebanks.

In 2.10 data, the UPOS tags used are:

Corpus	NOUN	PRON
UD_English-GUM	83	0
UD_English-ParTUT	0	40
UD_English-PUD	8	0
UD_English-LinES	0	74
UD_English-EWT	3	265

In PTB they are considered nouns, but according to https://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/PRON.html they should be considered PRON in UD. Since this is a closed class I don't see that divergence as a problem.

EWT query for all except "no one": http://universal.grew.fr/?custom=634adbc7a092f

I will fix the 5 errors in EWT.

I'm not passionate about upos, if those guidelines are meant to be/can be made consistent across languages, let's do it. I'll fix GUM/Reddit.

Looking at that page I think 'everything/one' should not be PronType=Ind, it should be PronType=Tot, no?

[nschneid]

I'm not familiar with "indefinite" versus "total" versus "negative" pronouns being a distinction in English grammar. See this table, for example. @dan-zeman was that intended mainly for determiners?

[amir-zeldes]

That table has a column 'universal' - I think that's what is intended here. GUM uses Tot for things like "all, each":

[nschneid]

Ah, I see here that Ind is intended to cover both the "some" and "any" varieties, which could be distinguished with language-specific extensions (do any languages do this?). OK we can implement this for English. I was just confused by the different use of the term "indefinite".

[nschneid]

OK I think this is fixed for EWT and GUM (the treebanks maintained at Georgetown). Consider opening an issue in the repo for PUD.
