cc: coordinating conjunction

For more on coordination, see the conj relation. A cc is the relation between the first conjunct and the coordinating conjunction delimiting another conjunct. (Note: different dependency grammars have different treatments of coordination. We take the first conjunct as the head of the coordination.)

A coordinating conjunction may also appear at the beginning of a sentence. This is also called a cc, and it depends on the root predicate of the sentence. (In fact there is a coordination that spans multiple sentences. We cannot attach a word to the first conjunct because it is in another sentence. Thus we attach it to the first conjunct available in the current sentence: its main predicate.)

53082 nodes (4%) are attached to their parents as cc.

44034 instances of cc (83%) are left-to-right (parent precedes child). Average distance between parent and child is 3.75083832560943.

The following 76 pairs of parts of speech are connected with cc: VERB-CONJ (19066; 36% instances), NOUN-CONJ (17497; 33% instances), ADJ-CONJ (5932; 11% instances), PROPN-CONJ (3728; 7% instances), NOUN-ADV (1190; 2% instances), NUM-CONJ (1141; 2% instances), ADV-CONJ (978; 2% instances), PRON-CONJ (744; 1% instances), VERB-ADV (728; 1% instances), NOUN-PRON (276; 1% instances), ADJ-ADV (242; 0% instances), ADV-PART (116; 0% instances), PROPN-ADV (107; 0% instances), NOUN-VERB (100; 0% instances), NOUN-SCONJ (94; 0% instances), DET-CONJ (92; 0% instances), NUM-SYM (74; 0% instances), NOUN-PART (71; 0% instances), ADV-SCONJ (66; 0% instances), ADV-ADV (60; 0% instances), PART-CONJ (59; 0% instances), VERB-SCONJ (56; 0% instances), NOUN-SYM (55; 0% instances), PRON-ADV (55; 0% instances), ADV-PRON (53; 0% instances), VERB-PART (53; 0% instances), NUM-ADV (44; 0% instances), ADJ-SCONJ (35; 0% instances), NOUN-ADJ (34; 0% instances), ADJ-PART (23; 0% instances), ADJ-PRON (22; 0% instances), NOUN-NOUN (19; 0% instances), PROPN-SYM (18; 0% instances), PART-PART (17; 0% instances), NUM-PRON (16; 0% instances), PROPN-PRON (16; 0% instances), CONJ-PRON (14; 0% instances), PROPN-ADJ (14; 0% instances), PROPN-VERB (13; 0% instances), NUM-PART (12; 0% instances), ADP-CONJ (11; 0% instances), CONJ-CONJ (11; 0% instances), PRON-PRON (11; 0% instances), PROPN-SCONJ (11; 0% instances), ADJ-VERB (9; 0% instances), PROPN-PROPN (9; 0% instances), SCONJ-CONJ (8; 0% instances), SYM-CONJ (8; 0% instances), INTJ-CONJ (7; 0% instances), PROPN-PART (7; 0% instances), AUX-CONJ (5; 0% instances), NOUN-PROPN (5; 0% instances), PRON-VERB (5; 0% instances), PART-ADV (4; 0% instances), ADV-PROPN (3; 0% instances), CONJ-PART (3; 0% instances), PROPN-NOUN (3; 0% instances), PUNCT-CONJ (3; 0% instances), ADJ-ADJ (2; 0% instances), ADV-NOUN (2; 0% instances), ADV-VERB (2; 0% instances), DET-PRON (2; 0% instances), NUM-VERB (2; 0% instances), PRON-PART (2; 0% instances), SCONJ-ADV (2; 0% instances), VERB-NOUN (2; 0% instances), VERB-PRON (2; 0% instances), VERB-SYM (2; 0% instances), VERB-VERB (2; 0% instances), ADJ-PROPN (1; 0% instances), CONJ-ADV (1; 0% instances), DET-ADV (1; 0% instances), DET-PART (1; 0% instances), INTJ-PART (1; 0% instances), NUM-SCONJ (1; 0% instances), PART-NOUN (1; 0% instances).
