orphan
: orphan
The orphan
relation is used to provide a satisfactory treatment of ellipsis (in
the case of gapping and stripping, where a predicational or verbal
head gets elided) without having to postulate empty nodes in the basic representation.
If the head nominal is elided, we promote dependents in the following order: amod > nummod > det > nmod > case.
