compound:vsc: verb sandwich construction

For Spanish Sign Language, we use compound:vsc for a construction, usual in sign languages, in which the same verb occurred twice in the same sentence, separated by the object and/or adjuncts.

# sent_id = PS-JRV#029
# text = MIRAR ÁRBOL MIRAR
# gloss_en = LOOK TREE LOOK
# text_es = Miró hacia lo alto del árbol
# text_en = He looked up the tree
