appos: appositional modifier

An appositional modifier (appos) of a noun is a nominal immediately following the first noun that serves to define, modify, name, or describe that noun. It includes parenthesized examples, as well as defining abbreviations in one of these structures. The appos dependency is used in the Pomak treebank:

"the king told him in anger"

    "entities": [
        [ "embedded-2-T1", "token", [ [ 0, 10 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T2", "token", [ [ 11, 19 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T3", "token", [ [ 20, 22 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T4", "token", [ [ 23, 25 ] ] ],
        [ "embedded-2-T5", "token", [ [ 26, 32 ] ] ]
    ],
    "relations": [],
    "attributes": [],
    "error": true,
    "sentlabels": [ "2" ]
}

However, in rare cases when two or more nominal appositions exist, all nouns should be marked as modifying the first noun, rather than being chained:

    ],

}

As mentioned elsewhere, appos relation may label parts in between a list chain:
