acl: clausal modifier of noun
acl stands for finite and non-finite clauses that modify a nominal. The acl relation
contrasts with the advcl relation, which is used for adverbial clauses
that modify a predicate. 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.
Note that a major subtype of adnominal clauses is relative clauses, which have their own relation label, acl:relcl.
Plain acl should not be used in annotation of relative clauses.
Previously, this relation was also used for optional depictives. Following a guidelines amendment in May 2022, optional depictives should now be analyzed as advcl.
Czech also allows finite clausal complements for nouns with
a subset of nouns like fact or report.
These look roughly like relative clauses, but do not have any omitted role in the dependent clause.
These are also analyzed as acl.
Příčinou není fakt , že by kina navštívilo víc diváků . \n Cause is-not the-fact , that would cinemas visit more filmgoers .
acl(fakt, navštívilo)
acl(the-fact, visit)
Some nouns also occur with infinitival complements, which are analyzed as adnominal clauses.
Nebyl zájem navýšit podporu tohoto sektoru . \n There-was-no interest to-increase support of-this sector .
acl(zájem, navýšit)
acl(interest, to-increase)
