punct: punctuation
This element is used for any piece of punctuation in a clause. The last punctuation mark of the sentence (usually a full stop or interrogative/exclamation mark) always depends on the root; within the relevant unit, a punctuation mark is attached at the highest possible node that preserves projectivity. In general, tokens with the relation punct always attach to content words (except in cases of ellipsis) and can never have dependents on their own.
შემოდგომის დღეები მიწურული იყო .
'Autumn days were over.'
punct(იყო, .)
იცოდი ამის შესახებ ?
'Did you know about that?'.
punct(იცოდი, ?)
უზომოდ მიხარია !..
'I am extremely happy!'
punct(მიხარია, !..)
A punctuation mark separating coordinated units is attached to the following conjunct.
უცებ სულ ახლოს, სულ ღრმად, სულ ჩემში რაღაც აფართხალდა მტრედივით.
'Suddenly, very close, very deep, inside me, something flew like a dove.'
punct(ახლოს, ,-4)
punct(ღრმად, ,-7)
Paired punctuation marks (e.g. quotes and brackets, sometimes also dashes, commas and other) are attached to the same word unless that would create non-projectivity. This word is usually the head of the phrase enclosed in the paired punctuation.
