acl: clausal modifier of noun
acl is used for finite and non-finite clauses that modify a
noun. Note that in English relative clauses get assigned a specific
relation acl:relcl, a subtype of acl.
the issues as he sees them
acl(issues, sees)
Points to establish are ...
acl(Points, establish)
I don't have anything to say to you
acl(anything, say)
Non-relative clause finite clausal complements for nouns are limited to complement clauses with a subset of nouns like fact or report. We analyze them as acl (parallel to the analysis of this class as “content clauses” in Huddleston and Pullum 2002). Such clausal complements are usually finite (though there are occasional remnant English subjunctives).
I admire the fact that you are honest
acl(fact, honest)
mark(honest, that)
cop(honest, are)
nsubj(honest, you)
