Annotating Modifiers

Nominal modifiers of nouns (UD relation nmod), oblique dependents of verbs (obl) that are not annotated as core arguments, as well as adverbial clauses (advcl) are annotated much like non-core arguments – with a capitalized role label that is short for the corresponding frame, with the modified element implictly filling the other role of that frame. For example:

Dependency graph for sentence: Kim is sweating in the sauna. Token sweating is labeled CONTAINMENT-DEINIT and has an edge labeled container to token Kim and an edge labeled LOCATION to token sauna. Dependency graph for sentence: Wir machen das wegen der Kinder. Token machen is labeled CAUSATION and has an edge labeled causer to token Wir and an edge labeled effect to token das and an edge labeled REASON to token Kinder. Dependency graph for sentence: gekommen , um zu bleiben. Token gekommen is labeled LOCATION-INIT and has an edge labeled END to token bleiben. Dependency graph for sentence: a tree in the garden.
