SCONJ: subordinating conjunction
SCONJ is used for these two subclasses of subordinating conjunctions:
- Complementizers: that, whether, if, etc.
- Adverbial clause introducers: when, since, before, etc. (when introducing a clause not a nominal)
These are a subset of the things that the IN tag is used for in the PTB.
We treat the putative relativizer use of that (e.g., Jespersen 1924) as a relative pronoun in modern English, so that it gets the POS tag PRON.
