nmod:appos: nominal modifier apposition
TODO: check this page !!!
The nmod:appos relation is used only in UD_French-Spoken for appositions which modify nominal elements.
The nominal modifier is not introduced by a preposition (else we use the nmod relation).
Contrary to the appos relation, the nmod:appos relation doesn’t respect the prosody of lists.
Here are a few examples:
Le journal Libération a refusé de dévoiler ses sources concernant le dossier Fillon . \n The newspaper Liberation refused to reveal its sources in the fillon case.
nmod:appos(journal, Libération)
nmod:appos(dossier, Fillon)
l' affaire Dreyfus
nmod:appos(affaire, Dreyfus)
la société Hebrard
nmod:appos(société, Hebrard)
la région Auvergne
nmod:appos(région, Auvergne)
La rue Faidherbe et la place Voltaire sont situées dans le même quartier. \n Faidherbe street and place Voltaire are located in the same neigbourhood.
nmod:appos(rue, Faidherbe)
nmod:appos(place, Voltaire)
Monsieur Dupont habitait près de la ligne Maginot. \n Mister Dupont lived close to the Maginot Line.
nmod:appos(Monsieur, Dupont)
N.B.: for phrases like “la ville de Paris” the nmod relation seems more appropriate because of the preposition (which cannot be removed *la ville Paris)
la ville de Paris
nmod(ville, Paris)
case(Paris, de)
The nmod:appos relation is used instead of flat, for “le président Macron”, which follows in French the same pattern as other nmod:appos. The relation is also used between first and second name:
le président Macron
nmod:appos(président, Macron)
Emmanuel Macron
nmod:appos(Emmanuel, Macron)
l’ acteur Gaspard Ulliel
nmod:appos(acteur, Gaspard)
nmod:appos(Gaspard, Ulliel)
la rue Victor Hugo
nmod:appos(rue, Victor)
nmod:appos(Victor, Hugo)
