flat: flat multiword expression
The flat relation is one of three relations for multiword expressions (MWEs) in UD (the other two being fixed and compound). It is used for exocentric (headless) structures like names and dates. The head of the relation is always the first word of the expression, while all the other words in the expression are its dependents. In the Slovene treebank three different varieties of the flat relation are used.
The more general flat relation is used for individual tokens that make up dates and multi-word numerals.

The flat:name subtype is used for personal names.

Foreign language expressions made up of proper names (personal names, names of places, cities, etc.) are also analyzed as flat structures where the first element is the head of a relation ending in every subsequent element, except that the nmod relation is used instead.
