acl: clausal modifier of a nominal
acl is a clausal modifier of a nominal. The head of the acl relation is the noun being modified, and the dependent is the head of the clause that modifies the noun.
In Lithuanian, the label acl is used in two cases:
1) To mark a finite clause or a participle that modifies a nominal:
Aš noriu paprasto būdo gauti nuolaidą . \n I want a-simple way to-get a-discount .
acl(būdo, gauti)
acl(way, to-get)
2) To mark both finite and non-finite clauses that modify a nominal and are connected to the main clause by subordinating conjunctions such as kaip (as / how), kad (that), jog (that), kai (when), kada (when), or by adverbials such as kodėl (why), kur (where).
Faktas , kad niekam nerūpi . \n It-is-the-fact that nobody cares .
acl(Faktas, nerūpi)
acl(It-is-the-fact, cares)
Tai buvo laikas , kai nustojome bendrauti . \n It was a-time when we-stopped communicating .
acl(laikas, nustojome)
acl(a-time, we-stopped)
Ieškosime būdo , kaip įgyvendinti savo tikslą . \n We’ll-look-for a-way how to-accomplish our goal .
acl(būdo, įgyvendinti)
acl(a-way, to-accomplish)
When a clause describes a pronoun (or its prepositional construction) and begins not with a relative pronoun, but with the conjunction kad (that), such elements are annotated with the acl label.
Mūsų nestebina tai , kad lyja . \n We are-not-surprised at-that that it-is-raining .
acl(tai, lyja)
acl(at-that, it-is-raining)
Note that a major subtype of adnominal clauses is relative clauses, which have their own relation label, acl:relcl. Plain acl should not be used in annotation of relative clauses.
