obl: oblique nominal
The obl dependency (oblique) is used for a nominal (noun, pronoun, noun phrase) functioning as a non core (oblique) argument or adjunct. It corresponds to an adverbial attaching to a verb, adjective or other adverb:
This relation can be further specified by the case, in conjunction with which it may provide a uniform analysis for variant forms as adpositions that are governed a case:
dúmili so za tǽhnokne arkadašlýka
"(they) spoke about their (girl) friend"
obl (dúmili, arkadašlýka)
case (arkadašlýka, za)
In the Pomak treebank, the obl dependency has been applied to the so-called “ethic dative”:
dečómne je drago...
lit: children-to-the is-it pleasant...
"the children like to..."
obl (drágo, dečómne) note: *dečómne* is in genetive/dative case
In the case of an ethic dative, when the strong and the weak type of the personal pronoun co-occur, then the strong type is assigned the obl dependency and the weak type the expl one:
tébe ti je da rečéš
lit: you, you-to is-it to say-you
"it is up to you to say"
expl (tébe, ti)
obl (tébe, rečéš)
