name
: name
name
is one of the three relations for compounding in UD (together with compound
and mwe
). It is used for proper nouns constituted of multiple nominal elements. It is not used to replace the usual relations in a phrasal or clausal name, like titles of books, where the actual dependencies should be preserved.
Names are annotated in a flat, head-initial structure, in which all words in the name modify the first one using the name
label. This also works for prepostions or determiners and numerals that are part of the names.
Words joined by name
should all be part of a minimal noun phrase; otherwise regular syntactic relations should be used. For organization names with clear syntactic modification structure, the dependencies should reflect the syntactic modification structure using regular syntactic relation.
In addition, regular syntactic relations are used:
- for a modifying determiner or
- to connect together the words of a description or name which involve embedded prepositional phrases, sentences, etc.
