acl:relcl
: relative clause modifier
A relative clause modifier (acl:relcl
) marks relative clauses. The
governor is the phrase or clause modified. Usually, it is a noun, but in Uralic
it can also be a verb, when the dependent refers to the entire action described.
The dependent is the main predicate of the relative clause.
##Diffs
###Turku Dependency Treebank
The governor can also be a verb, when the dependent refers to the entire action described in the main sentence.
###FinnTreeBank
FI_FTB applies the universal relation acl
instead
of the language-specific relation acl:relcl
.

acl:relcl
does not appear in the Szeged treebank.
advcl
: adverbial clause modifier
Adverbial clause modifiers (advcl
) are subordinate clauses that
are not complements. Also non-complement infinitival or temporal clauses
(lauseenvastike, see for instance
(see ISK §876) and non-complement participles modifying verbs are
marked as advcl
. If there is a subordinating conjunction present, it
is marked with the dependency type mark.
The dependency type advcl
is used also in comparative
constructions, most often involving adjectives in the comparative
form. The head of the advcl
dependency is the comparative
wordform, and the dependent is the compared element.
The annotation of comparative and superlative structures is described in Comparatives and superlatives.

amod
: adjectival modifier
Nouns may take adjectival modifiers, which are marked with the
dependency type amod
. It is also possible for an adjective to take
another adjective as a modifier. (These adjectival modifiers are
generally expressed with -ly adverbs in English.)
Open questions
- Should ordinal numerals also receive
amod
?
punct
: punctuation
The dependency type punct
is used to mark punctuation. The dependent is the punctuation symbol, and the governor is the element which the punctuation symbol delimits. For instance, with coordination, the first coordinated element is the head of all punct
dependencies in the coordination, and with subordinate clauses, the head of the subordinate clause is the governor of the punct
.
###Diffs
By the current release of FI_FTB (FinnTreeBank), the manual annotation of punctuation marks has not been completed. Instead the automatic annotation links the punctuation marks to the closest token available (usually the previous one).
vocative
: vocative modifier
The dependency type vocative
is used for vocatives, that is,
expressions where someone is being addressed. The governor of the
dependency is the main predicate of the clause where the addressing
occurs.
