SCONJ: subordinating conjunction
Definition
A subordinating conjunction is a conjunction that links constructions by making one of them a constituent of the other. The subordinating conjunction typically marks the incorporated constituent which has the status of a (subordinate) clause.
The subordinating conjunctions usually depend on the head of the subordinatated constituent with the mark relation.
For coordinating conjunctions, see CCONJ.
