SCONJ: subordinating conjunction
Definition
A subordinating conjunction is a conjunction that links constructions by making one of them a constituent of the other. The subordinating conjunction typically marks the incorporated constituent which has the status of a (subordinate) clause.
For coordinating conjunctions, see CCONJ.
In the BulTreeBank annotation scheme, our tag Cs is mapped to the universal one SCONJ.
According to our scheme the multiword subordinate conjunctions are also labeled as Cs.
So, such cases are excluded here and analysed compositionally, as recommended in the universal tagset.
Examples
- ако / ako “if”
- щом / shtom “as soon as”
- докато / dokato “while”
