name: name
name is one of the three relations for compounding in UD (together
with compound and mwe).
It is used for proper nouns constituted of multiple nominal
elements. For example, name would be used between the words of
Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York, or Carl XVI Gustaf but not to
replace the usual relations in a phrasal or clausal name like The
king of Sweden or the novels The Lord of the Rings and Captured By
Aliens.
Words joined by name should all be part of a minimal noun phrase;
otherwise regular syntactic relations should be used. This is
basically similar to the treatment of noun compounds with
compound, except that in many cases parts of the name may be
another nominal element such as an adjective (United Airlines).
In general, names are annotated in a flat, head-initial structure, in
which all words in the name modify the first one using the name
label.
Carl XVI Gustaf
name(Carl-1, Gustaf-3)
name(Carl-1, XVI-2)
For organization names with clear syntactic modification structure, the dependencies should reflect the syntactic modification structure using regular syntactic relation, as in:.
Natural Resources Conservation Service
amod(Resources-2, Natural-1)
compound(Conservation-3, Resources-2)
compound(Service-4, Conservation-3)
In addition, regular syntactic relations are used: (i) for a modifying English determiner or (ii) to connect together the words of a description or name which involve English embedded prepositional phrases, sentences, etc.
The king of Sweden
det(king-2, The-1)
nmod(king-2, Sweden-4)
case(Sweden-4, of-3)
If a name contains a function word in another language than English, we also use the name relation.
Río de la Plata
name(Río-1, de-2)
name(Río-1, la-3)
name(Río-1, Plata-4)
Ludwig van Beethoven
name(Ludwig, van)
name(Ludwig, Beethoven)
Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra
name(Miguel, de)
name(Miguel, Cervantes)
name(Miguel, y)
name(Miguel, Saavedra)
San Francisco
name(San, Francisco)
