acl: clausal modifier of noun
acl stands for finite and non-finite clauses that modify a nominal. The head of the acl relation is the noun
that is modified, and the dependent is the head of the clause that modifies the noun. In Slovene, this relation is typically used for relative clauses, as illustrated below.
Točno tako je s standardi , ki nastajajo v internetu . \n Exactly such is with standards which emerge on Internet .
acl(standardi, nastajajo)
acl(standards, emerge)

acl(tisto,zapustili)
acl(it,pass)
The acl relation is currently also used for optional depictives, where the adjective is taken to modify the nominal of which it provides a secondary predication. However, in line with recent changes in the general UD guidelines, such constructions should be reanalyzed as adverbial clause modifiers (advcl) in the future, as there is no longer a need to distinguish between optional predicatives with (acl) and without (advcl) overt nominal heads.

obj(imela,Lase)

obj(wore,hair)
