root: root

This document is a placeholder for the language-specific documentation for root.

The root grammatical relation points to the root of the sentence. A fake node “ROOT” is used as the governor. The ROOT node is indexed with “0”, since the indexation of real words in the sentence starts at 1.

ROOT Me gusta el cine . \n I like the cinema .
root(ROOT, gusta)
ROOT María es simpática . \n María is friendly .
root(ROOT, es)
