acl: adjectival clause

The acl label is applied to finite and non-finite clauses that modify a nominal (The acl relation contrasts with the advcl relation, which is used for adverbial clauses that modify a predicate.) The acl relation points from the head of the nominal to the head of the clause that modifies it.

Some languages allow finite clausal complements for nouns with a subset of nouns like fact or report. These look roughly like relative clauses, but do not have any omitted role in the dependent clause. This is the class of “content clauses” in Huddleston and Pullum 2002). These are also analyzed as acl.

the fact that nobody cares
acl(fact, cares)

In Pomak, the acl relation appears in accordance to the above mentioned, as seen in the following examples:

tja néma háka  da so sme 
"she has no right to laugh"
acl(háka, sme)
ímom ennó kóne húbbe patkοváto  
"I have a horse well shod"         
acl (kóne, patkováto)
obj(ímom, kóne)
