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.
muž , o kterém jsem mluvil \n man , about whom I-have talked
acl(muž, mluvil)
acl(man, talked)
This relation is also used for optional depictives. The adjective is taken to modify the nominal of which it provides a secondary predication. See u-dep/xcomp for further discussion of resultatives and depictives.
Alena vstoupila do místnosti smutná . \n Alena entered to room sad .
acl(Alena-1, smutná)
acl(Alena-8, sad)
Namaloval svou ženu nahou . \n He-painted his wife naked .
acl(ženu, nahou)
acl(wife, naked)
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)
