mark: marker
A marker is the word introducing a finite clause subordinate to
another clause. For a complement clause, this is words like que
or se. For an adverbial clause, the marker is typically a
subordinating conjunction like enquanto or embora. The mark is a dependent of the
subordinate clause head. In a relative clause, it is a normally uninflected word, which simply introduces a relative clause, such as que. In this last use, one needs to distinguish between relative clause markers, which are mark from relative pronouns, which fill a regular verbal argument or modifier grammatical relation.
Era de facto por ali que começava a surgir perigo
mark(surgir, que)
Note that this relation holds between the marker and the head of the subordinate clause, which can be a non verbal element.
Sugere ainda que seja elaborada uma circular
mark(elaborada, que)
