Examples


Treebank Statistics (UD_French)

There are 19 SCONJ lemmas (0%), 26 SCONJ types (0%) and 2909 SCONJ tokens (1%). Out of 17 observed tags, the rank of SCONJ is: 16 in number of lemmas, 15 in number of types and 13 in number of tokens.

The 10 most frequent SCONJ lemmas: que, si, lorsque, quand, soit, comme, puisque, puis, sinon, voire

The 2nd highest number of forms (2) was observed with the lemma “lorsque”: lorsqu’, lorsque.

The 3rd highest number of forms (2) was observed with the lemma “puisque”: puisqu’, puisque.

SCONJ does not occur with any features.
