appos: appositional modifier

An appositional modifier of an NP is an NP immediately to the right of the first NP that serves to define or modify that NP. It also includes parenthesized examples.

Examples:

Tá gearán déanta ag Unison, ceardchumann lucht na mbónaí bána, leis an gCoimisiún `Unison, the workers’ trade union, have made a complaint to the Commission’

Chas m’athair air sa tábhairne, O’ Shea’s i nDomhnach Broc `My father met him in the pub, O’ Shea’s in Donnybrook’

Helena McMahon, duine a bhfuil baint aici le healaín phobail i Luimneach. `Helena McMahon, someone who is involved in community art in Limerick’

In cases where a date string forms a separate clause (potentially introduced by punctuation), the appos label is preferred for the head of the string. Subsequent tokens that are part of the string are attached as flat.

Tá an spriocdháta seo a leanas leagtha amach d’iarratais ar chabhair dheontais: 16 Eanáir 2003. `The following closing date has been set for applications for grant aid: 16 January 2003.’

In cases where the sentence can be disjointed, but there is a close relation between the tokens, we use appos.
