acl:
clausal modifier of noun

acl marks finite and non-finite clauses that modify a noun except for relative clauses which get the relation acl:relcl.

Haben Sie den Eindruck , daß das Licht heller geworden ist ? \n Do you have the impression that the light got brighter ?
acl(Eindruck, geworden)
Tatsächlich gibt es Bestrebungen , den Straßenverkehr sicherer zu machen . \n There are indeed efforts to make the traffic safer .
acl(Bestrebungen, machen)

acl:relcl:
relative clause modifier

A relative clause is a clause that modifies a noun. Relative clauses are finite and are introduced with a relative pronoun that refers back to the noun. acl:relcl is a subtype of the acl relation.

Er legt das Buch auf den Tisch , der dort drüben steht . \n Put the book on the table that stands over there .
acl:relcl(Tisch, steht)
nsubj(steht, der)
Er stellt den Teller auf den Tisch , auf dem schon das Buch liegt . \n Put the plate on the table on which the book lies already .
acl:relcl(Tisch, liegt)
nmod(liegt, dem)

Extraposed relative clauses often introduce non-projective structures.

Petra hat diese Frau angerufen , die er gestern getroffen hat . \n Petra called this woman who she met yesterday .
acl:relcl(Frau, getroffen)
dobj(angerufen, Frau)
aux(angerufen, hat)
nsubj(getroffen, die)
edit acl:relcl

compound:prt:
separable verb particle

Depending on the clause type in German, particles and verb stems of particle verbs either stand together or separate in the sentence. compound:prt is used to mark the separated particles of particle verbs. It is a subtype of the compound relation.

In main clauses, particles appear in sentence-final position separate from their verb stem, which stands in second position.

Der Koch schlägt die Eier auf . \n The chef breaks the eggs .
compound:prt(schlägt, auf)

In subordinate clauses, particle verbs appear with their particles in sentence-final position. In this case, they form a single token.

... , weil der Koch die Eier aufschlägt . \n ... , because the chef breaks the eggs .

name:
name

The name relation is one of the three relations for compounding in UD (together with compound and mwe). It is used for proper nouns constituted of multiple nominal elements. For example, name would be used between the words of Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York, or Carl XVI Gustaf but not to replace the usual relations in a phrasal or clausal name like The king of Sweden or the novels The Lord of the Rings and Captured By Aliens.

Words joined by name should all be part of a minimal noun phrase; otherwise regular syntactic relations should be used. This is basically similar to the treatment of noun compounds with compound, except that in many cases parts of the name may be another nominal element such as an adjective (United Airlines).

In general, names are annotated in a flat, head-initial structure, in which all words in the name modify the first one using the name label.

Carl XVI Gustav
name(Carl, XVI)
name(Carl, Gustav)
Frankfurt am Main
nmod(Frankfurt, Main)
case(Main, am)
