advcl:cleft: clefted adverbial clause modifier

In Naija, the advcl:cleft relation is used for clefted constructions.

Clefted elements can often be identified by the presence of the copulative particle na which is described in more details on the PART page. On the other hand naim, which is described on the ADV page, is often used as a marker in the second part of the cleft.

The advcl:cleft relation is also used in questions containing interrogative words such as who or where. In such cases, the wh-word is annotated as the root, and is connected to the verb via an advcl:cleft relation.


advcl:cleft in other languages: [fr] [gya] [ha] [ht] [pcm]
