mark: marker
A marker is the word marking a clause as subordinate to another clause. The marker is typically a subordinating conjunction like nes, jei, nors, kai, kad, kaip kad (because, if, although, when, that, just as) etc. The marker is a dependent of the subordinate clause head. Relative pronouns (kuris, koks… / which, what…), adverbs (kur, iki kol, iki kolei… / where, until, until…), and particles (vos, mat… / barely, because) functioning as subordinating conjunctions, are not annotated as mark. They are marked with other tags.
Kai saulė tekėjo , mes ėjome namo . \n When the-sun rose , we went home .
mark(tekėjo, Kai)
mark(rose, When)
Jei tu žinai tiesą , pasakyk mokytojui. \n If you know the-truth , tell the-teacher .
mark(žinai, Jei)
mark(know, If)
Aš nėjau į darbą , nes sirgau . \n I didn‘t-go to-work because I-was-ill .
mark(sirgau, nes)
mark(I-was-ill, because)
Some subordinating conjunctions are treated as compounds (e.g., kaip kad (just as/as…as)), i.e., they occur in a single token.
Šokti nėra taip lengva , kaip-kad jūs manote . \n Dancing is-not as easy as you think .
mark(manote, kaip-kad)
mark(think, as)
Some subordinating conjunctions function as fixed expressions, so their first element is annotated as mark and the second element is attached to the first and annotated as fixed.
Kai tik išaušo rytas , išsiviriau kavos . \n As soon-as morning dawned , I-brewed coffee .
mark(išaušo, Kai)
fixed(Kai, tik)
mark(dawned, As)
fixed(As, soon-as)
Correlative conjunctions are also annotated as mark (the second clause element is treated as the main one).
Kai susitikome , tai kalbėjomės iki išnaktų . \n When we-met , then we-talked until dawn .
mark(susitikome, Kai)
mark(kalbėjomės, tai)
mark(we-met, When)
mark(we-talked, then)
