obl
: oblique
The obl
relation is used for a nominal (noun, pronoun, noun phrase) functioning as a non-core (oblique) argument or adjunct to a verb, adverb, adjective or verbal noun.
If the nominal is modifying a noun, proper noun, pronoun or symbol then use nmod instead.
If the nominal is specifying the agent of a passive formed with the irregular verb rach (usually realised as chaidh in the past tense or thèid in the future) connected to a verbal noun with the aux:pass relation then use obl:agent instead.
In the Scottish Gaelic treebank the obl
relation is marked with an adposition connected to it with the case
relation.
(Up to release 2.15) The subtypes obl:smod and obl:tmod are for expressions of space and time respectively which are not marked with an adposition.
(Release 2.16) The subtype obl:unmarked is used for where there is no adposition and the noun is in the nominative case.
