AUX in mandarin #

We follow the same convention than Mandarin UD for AUX except that

  • the three aspect markers 过 着 了 are annotated as particle (PART) instead of auxiliaries.
  • 肯 / kěn “be willing to”, 敢 / gǎn “dare” are NOT annotated as auxiliaries (as they can be modified by the aspect marker 过) and we don’t think they have a specific syntactic function in the sentence.
