obl: oblique nominal
In UDv2, the obl relation is used for a nominal dependent of a verb. However, this dependent is neither a subject (for which we use the nsubj relation) nor a direct object (for which we use the obj relation).
Sara donne une fleur à Tom . \n Sara gives a flower to Tom.
obl(donne, Tom)
case(Tom, à)
FrenchSpoken uses the obl:mod relation when the dependent is a modifier of the verb and the obl:comp relation when the dependent is a core argument of the verb. The obl:periph relation is used to annotate some of the non-core nominal dependents of the verb.
Here are a few examples :
Habituellement, Pierre mange une pomme à dix heures piles. \n Usually, Pierre eats an apple at ten o'clock.
obl:mod(mange, heures)
case(heures, à)
Max habite à Paris . \n Max lives in Paris.
obl:comp(habite, Paris)
case(Paris, à)
Selon ma voisine , le gardien vole parfois des colis. \n According to my neighbour, the caretaker sometimes steals packages.
obl:periph(vole, voisine)
case(voisine, Selon)
