`dobj`: direct object

The obj label is used to mark the relationship between a verb and its direct object.

Examples

Bhailigh siad eolas ‘They collected information’



  
    input
    brat
    info
  
Bhailigh siad eolas \n Collected they information
dobj(Bhailigh, eolas)
{
    "text": "Bhailigh siad eolas \n Collected they information ",
    "entities": [
        [ "embedded-1-T1", "token", [ [ 0, 8 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-1-T2", "token", [ [ 9, 13 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-1-T3", "token", [ [ 14, 19 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-1-T5", "token", [ [ 22, 31 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-1-T6", "token", [ [ 32, 36 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-1-T7", "token", [ [ 37, 48 ] ] ]
    ],
    "relations": [
        [ "embedded-1-R1", "dobj", [ [ "arg1", "embedded-1-T1" ], [ "arg2", "embedded-1-T3" ] ] ]
    ],
    "attributes": [],
    "error": false,
    "sentlabels": [ "1" ]
}

Note that the object of an infinitival phrase occurs before the infinitive form (Verbal Noun), despite Irish being a VSO language.

    input
    brat
    info
  
eolas a chur ar fáil \n information to put at available
dobj(chur, eolas)
{
    "text": "eolas a chur ar fáil \n information to put at available ",
    "entities": [
        [ "embedded-2-T1", "token", [ [ 0, 5 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T2", "token", [ [ 6, 7 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T3", "token", [ [ 8, 12 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T4", "token", [ [ 13, 15 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T5", "token", [ [ 16, 20 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T7", "token", [ [ 23, 34 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T8", "token", [ [ 35, 37 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T9", "token", [ [ 38, 41 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T10", "token", [ [ 42, 44 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T11", "token", [ [ 45, 54 ] ] ]
    ],
    "relations": [
        [ "embedded-2-R1", "dobj", [ [ "arg1", "embedded-2-T3" ], [ "arg2", "embedded-2-T1" ] ] ]
    ],
    "attributes": [],
    "error": false,
    "sentlabels": [ "2" ]
}

Impersonal/autonomous verbs are used to create phrases similar to the English passive. However, unlike English, the object does not become the subject of this verb form, and remains labelled as obj.
