acl: clausal modifier of noun

acl stands for finite and non-finite clauses that modify a nominal. A relative clause is an instance of acl, characterized by finiteness and usually omission of the modified noun in the embedded clause. The head of the acl relation is the noun that is modified, and the dependent is the head of the clause that modifies the noun.
