mark
: marker
A marker is the word introducing a clause subordinate to another clause. The marker is a dependent of the subordinate clause head.
Prepositions introducing infinitives are also analyzed as mark
.
Here are some examples from UD_French-Spoken:
Note that in the phrase dès que, que is considered as a marker by UD_French-Spoken (and not analyzed with fixed as it may be done in other corpora of the French treebank). dès is thus analyzed as a preposition, dependent of the finite verb of the clause. The fact that the clause following the dès can commute with a simple nominal phrase justifies this analysis. For instance, in the following example, que son mari est arrivé (in dès que son mari est arrivé) can commute with son arrivée (dès son arrivée).
