[CWB] other kind of annotations in cwb corpus

[Hardie, Andrew]

You can have as many or as few word-level annotations as you like and
they can be whatever you like. CWB treats them all alike. 

It's common to have a POS but it's not necessary. 
It's common to have a lemma but it's not necessary. 

Other than that there are all manner of things that you might
conceivably have which are not so commonly used but are entirely
possible (inc. semantic tag, phonetic transcription, morphosyntactic
ambiguity fields, discourse annotation...). You're only limited by your
own ability to generate the annotations in the first place. CWB will
quite happily process whatever annotations you give it and will treat
them all exactly the same.

Best

Andrew.
