conj: conjunct

The conjunct relation holds between coordinated elements. We treat coordination asymmetrically: The head of the relation is the first conjunct and other conjuncts depend on it via the conj relation.

ROOT Kappingin byrjaði í Napoli og endaði í Brescia . 
conj(byrjaði, endaði)
cc(byrjaði, og)
nsubj(byrjaði, Kappingin)
case(Napoli, í)
case(Brescia, í)
punct(byrjaði, .)

1500 kr per barn och år \n 1500 kr per child and year
conj(barn, år)

En sekunds tvekan eller dröjsmål eller slarv \n A second's hesitation or delay or carelessness
conj(tvekan, dröjsmål)
conj(tvekan, slarv)

edit conj

cop: copula

A copula is the relation between the complement of a copular verb and the copular verb. Copular heads are avoided when possible.

ROOT Hettar er ein royndar setningur . \n This is a random sentence .
root(ROOT, setningur)
cop(setningur, er)
nsubj(setningur, Hettar)
amod(setningur, royndar)
det(setningur, ein)
punct(setningur, .)

Prepositional phrases are annotated similarly, the only difference being that the nominal predicate has an additional case marker.

Hon er frá Føroyum . \n She is from the.Faroes .
case(Føroyum, frá)
cop(Føroyum, er)
nsubj(Føroyum, Hon)
punct(Føroyum, .)

When an adjective or adverb is being predicated of a nominal phrase, the adjective/adverb is the root, the nominal phrase is the nsubj, and the copula is attached to the root with the cop relation.

Hon er sterk . \n She is strong . 
nsubj(sterk, Hon)
cop(sterk, er)
punct(sterk, .)

Hettar var í gjár . \n It was in yesterday .
nsubj(gjár, Hettar)
cop(gjár, var)
case(gjár, í)
punct(gjár, .)

Prepositions may also project a cop dependent.

Ljósið er frá . \n The light is on .
cop(frá, er)
nsubj(frá, Ljósið)
punct(frá, .)

In predicative wh-constructions, the fronted wh-word is the head, and the copula is another cop.

Hvat er hattar ? \n What is that ?
cop(Hvat, er)
nsubj(Hvat, hattar)
punct(Hvat, ?)
