fixed: fixed
The fixed relation is one of the three relations for multiword expressions (MWEs) (the other two being flat and compound).
It is used for certain fixed grammaticized expressions that behave like function words or short adverbials.
Fixed MWEs are annotated in a flat structure, where all subsequent words in the expression are attached to the first one using the fixed label.
Marie était malade mais elle est quand même venue . \n Marie was sick but she came anyway.

advmod(venue, quand)

Il y a trois livres sur la table. \n There are three books on the table.
