obl
: oblique argument or adjunct
The obl
relation is used for oblique nominal arguments and adjuncts of verbs.
The token marked obl
is a noun (or head of a noun phrase) functioning as a non-core (oblique) argument or adjunct. The obl
token can provide locational, temporal or other adverbial information, and may be an adjunct as well.
Examples:
Note that obl
includes prepositional objects of verbs of perception, such as the object of ‘hear’ or ‘see’, which is prepositional in Coptic:
Prepositional objects are always obl
and never marked as obj
, unless they are marked by the object marker ⲛ in one of the durative tenses, according to Jernstedt’s Law.
