vocative: vocative

The vocative relation is used to mark a dialogue participant addressed in a text (common in conversations, dialogue, emails, newsgroup postings, etc.). The relation links the addressee’s name to its host sentence.

If the nominal is clearly vocative in intent, it is preferable to use the vocative relation.

A vocative commonly co-occurs with a null subject.

The specialization vocative:mention is used for Twitter @-mentions.
