mark: marker

A marker is the word introducing a finite clause subordinate to another clause. Similar to case, it can be a preposition, a subordinate conjunction or an adverb. Unlike case though, it introduces clauses, not complements. The mark element is a dependent of the subordinate clause head.

It is used also on the head of mwe relations when they refer to verbs.
