root: root

The root grammatical relation points to the root of the sentence. A fake node “ROOT” is used as the governor. The ROOT node is indexed with “0”, since the indices of real words in the sentence start at 1.

ROOT Jag älskar pommes frites . \n ROOT I love French fries .
root(ROOT, älskar)
ROOT Bill är en ärlig man \n ROOT Bill is an honest man
root(ROOT, man-6)
