compound:prt: phrasal verb particle

The phrasal verb particle relation identifies an idiomatic phrasal verb, and holds between the verb and its particle (tagged as ADP). It is a subtype of the compound relation.

They shut down the station
compound:prt(shut, down)
They shut the station down
compound:prt(shut, down)

This relation excludes literal/directional uses of prepositions/particles, such as up, down, in, out, etc. These would typically become an ADV with the relation advmod:

The house was on fire and they ran out screaming.
advmod(ran, out)

compound:prt in other languages: [de] [en] [fi] [ga] [gsw] [no] [pcm] [sga] [sv] [swl] [u] [vi]
