obl: oblique

The relation obl is used for nominals that constitute an adjunct as in the first example or a non-core (oblique) argument as in the second example.

Das Paket liegt vor der Tür . \n The package is in front of the door .
obl(liegt, Tür)
Was hältst du von dieser Rede ? \n What do you think of that speech ?
obl(hältst, Rede)

Note that adjuncts and oblique arguments can also introduce relative clauses. In such cases, the relative pronoun itself is marked obl.

Das Haus , in dem ich wohne \n The house , in which I live
obl(wohne, dem)
