punct: punctuation
This is used for any piece of punctuation in a clause, if punctuation
is being retained in the typed dependencies. Note that symbols tagged SYM
are not punctuation and cannot be attached via the punct relation.
Go home !
punct(Go, !)
Tokens with the relation u-dep/punct always attach to content words (except in cases of ellipsis) and can never have dependents.
Since punct is not a normal dependency relation, the usual criteria for determining the head word do not apply.
Instead, we use the following principles:
- A punctuation mark separating coordinated units is attached to the following conjunct.
- A punctuation mark preceding or following a dependent unit is attached to that unit.
- Within the relevant unit, a punctuation mark is attached at the highest possible node that preserves projectivity.
- Paired punctuation marks (e.g. quotes and brackets, sometimes also dashes, commas and other) should be attached to the same word unless that would create non-projectivity. This word is usually the head of the phrase enclosed in the paired punctuation.
