acl: clausal modifier of noun

acl is used for dependent finite and non-finite clauses that modify a nominal (either a noun or a pronoun). The head of the acl relation is the noun/pronoun that is modified, and the dependent is the head of the clause that modifies the noun/pronoun: it can be the verb itself or an adjective part of a verbal predicate.

acl is used in the following cases:

Commossa/VERB[Tense:Past|VerbForm=Part] , Fiona/PROPN May/PROPN ha/AUX parlato/VERB
acl(Fiona, Commossa)
nsubj(parlato, Fiona)
name(Fiona, May)
aux(parlato, ha)
Due persone/NOUN armate/VERB[Tense:Past|VerbForm=Part] di pistola
acl(persone, armate)
Gli altri/PRON indicati/VERB[Tense:Past|VerbForm=Part] dalla legge . 
acl(altri, indicati)
il fatto che Gianni faccia/VERB[VerbForm=Fin] l' attore
acl(fatto, faccia)
Ha bisogno di vedere/VERB[VerbForm=Inf] cambiamenti concreti subito . 
acl(bisogno, vedere)
Ogni volta che fai/VERB[VerbForm=Fin] la doccia . 
acl(volta, fai)
in modo che la loro applicazione porti/VERB[VerbForm=Fin] all' eliminazione della disuguaglianza . 
acl(modo, porti)
non รจ il caso/NOUN di pensare/VERB[VerbForm=Inf] 
acl(caso, pensare)
quello/PRON di agevolare/VERB[VerbForm=Inf]  l' accesso
acl(quello, agevolare)
Sono stati ritrovati sani e salvi cinque americani .
acl(ritrovati, sani)
cc(sani, e)
conj(sani, salvi)

In Italian relative clauses get assigned a specific relation acl:relcl, a specification of acl. Also note that the acl relation contrasts with the advcl relation, which is used for adverbial clauses that modify a predicate.
