mark:rel: adjectival, relativizer, and nominalizer 的 DE

The mark:rel relation is reserved for three related uses of 的 de: adjectives, relative clauses, and nominalized clauses.

Adjectives [ADJ + 的 + NOUN]

When an adjective modifying a noun is followed by the particle 的 before the noun, the adjective is the head of the particle 的.

Relative clauses [clause + 的 + NOUN]

When the particle 的 is used after a clause turning it into a relative clause that modifies the following noun, the particle is a mark:rel dependent of the main verb of the relative clause.

Nominalized clauses [clause + 的]

When the particle 的 is used after a verb, predicate adjective, or object-less clause turning it into a nominal, the particle is annotated as a mark:rel dependent of the head of the nominalized clause.
