acl: clausal modifier of noun
acl is used for finite and non-finite clauses that modify a noun, including cases of secondary predication.
Note that in French relative clauses get assigned a specific relation acl:relcl, a subtype of acl.
Non-relative clausal dependents of nouns are limited to complement clauses with a subset of nouns like fait (fact).
We analyze them as acl (parallel to the analysis of this class as “content clauses” in Huddleston and Pullum 2002).
Comment est-ce que cela peut être réconcilié avec le fait que beaucoup de mariages cassent ? \n How can that be reconciled with the fact that many marriages break up?
acl(fait, cassent)
Une photo de ce qui s'est passé \n A picture of what happens
acl(photo, passé)
Un culte nourri d'influences d'anciens mythes \n A cult nourrished with influences from old myths
acl(culte, nourri)
The acl relation is also used for secondary predicates modifying a nominal:
Il quitta la pièce pleurant . \n He left the room crying .
acl(Il, pleurant)
Some examples of the acl relation in UD_French-Spoken:
on va donc avoir nos regards braqués sur l'hémisphère sud \n so we will be focused on the southern hemisphere
acl(regards, braqués)
la difficulté à vivre \n a difficulty to live with
acl(difficulté,vivre)
mark(vivre,à)
j'avais de la chance d' avoir des enfants qui travaillaient \n I was lucky to have children who were working
acl(chance,avoir)
mark(avoir,d')
N.B.: For cleft sentences UD_French-Spoken uses a subrelation of acl: the acl:cleft relation.
