relation acl:relcl, a subtype of acl.

Non-relative clause finite clausal complements for nouns are limited to complement clauses with a subset of nouns like fact or report. We analyze them as acl (parallel to the analysis of this class as “content clauses” in Huddleston and Pullum 2002). Such clausal complements are usually finite (though there are occasional remnant English subjunctives).

acl(fact, honest)
mark(honest, that)
cop(honest, are)
nsubj(honest, you)
