csubj:outer: outer relative clause modifier
There are two constructions that use a copula and a relative clause modifier, ‘S ann and ‘S e.
csubj:outer is relevant to ‘S ann.
- ‘S ann or Sann fronts adjectives, adverbs, APs, PPs and adverbial clauses.
This is then linked to the relative clause modifier by
csubj:cleftexcept in the case where it is itself a clause with a subject. In that case we usecsubj:outerinstead.
Examples
