punct: punctuation
A punctuation token is labeled punct and it is attached to the element it delimits. Thus, sentence-delimiting punctuation, such as “.”, “!” or “?” should be attached to the main verb (or predicative) of the sentence. Punctuation tokens always attach to content words and can never have dependents.
Πήγε σπίτι .
punct(Πήγε, .)
Πήγαινε σπίτι !
punct(Πήγαινε, !)
Πήγες σπίτι ;
punct(Πήγες, ;-3)
A punctuation mark delimiting a subordinate clause is attached to the head word of the clause.
Στη Μαλαισία , την οποία αναφέραμε ήδη , επανήλθε η θανατική ποινή .
punct(αναφέραμε, ,-3)
punct(αναφέραμε, ,-8)
punct(επανήλθε, .)
If there are several subordinate clauses within each other and the punctuation could delimit any of them, the shortest-spanning (closest) clause is selected.
A punctuation mark separating coordinated units is attached to the first conjunct.
Punctuation items related to parataxis are attached to the head of the first clause.
Ας το παραδεχτούμε : αποτύχαμε να περάσουμε στο Μουντιάλ .
parataxis(παραδεχτούμε, αποτύχαμε)
punct(παραδεχτούμε, :)
Ρίξε κάτι πάνω σου , κάνει κρύο .
parataxis(Ρίξε, κάνει)
punct(Ρίξε, ,-5)
In direct speech parataxis, paired punctuation marks (quotation marks) are attached to the head of the phrase enclosed in the paired punctuation.
« Το αεροσκάφος » ανέφερε ο πρωθυπουργός « δεν εξέπεμψε σήμα κινδύνου » .
parataxis(εξέπεμψε, ανέφερε)
punct(αεροσκάφος, «)
punct(αεροσκάφος, »)
punct(εξέπεμψε, «)
punct(εξέπεμψε, »)
Generally, paired punctuation marks (quotes and brackets) should be attached to the head of the clause or the phrase enclosed in the paired punctuation.
« Ανέβηκαν » επίπεδο .
punct(Ανέβηκαν, «)
punct(Ανέβηκαν, »)
If the above rule leads to non-projectivity, the punctuation is attached to the closest enclosed element.
αν δεν υπήρχε αυτός ( ή αυτή )
cc(αυτός, ή)
punct(ή, (-5)
punct(αυτή, )-8)
Punctuation can also delimit short additions, such as nominal modifiers or appositions, and in such cases, the punctuation should be attached to the head of the addition.
Κυνηγά την υπέρβαση , χωρίς μεγάλο άγχος
punct(άγχος, ,-4)
List item markers such as bullets of a bulleted list are marked as punctuation attached to the head of the list item.
* 9 σταθμούς εργασίας
punct(σταθμούς, *)
