A marker is the word introducing a finite clause subordinate to
another clause. For a complement clause, these typically include ότι, πως, μήπως, αν etc.
Notice that we annotate να, θα and ας particles as instances of aux.
For an adverbial clause, the marker is typically a
subordinating conjunction like αφού or επειδή. The marker is a dependent of the
subordinate clause head.
θα καταλάβουμε το βουνό προτού να ξημερώσει
advcl(καταλάβουμε, ξημερώσει)
mark(ξημερώσει, προτού)
aux(ξημερώσει, να)
Ο χρόνος επαρκεί προκειμένου να μάθει ο προπονητής το υλικό και να το δουλέψει
advcl(επαρκεί, μάθει)
mark(δουλέψει, προκειμένου)
aux(μάθει, να)
cc(μάθει, και)
conj(μάθει, δουλέψει)
aux(δουλέψει, να)
For certain multiword subordinate conjunctions, we use combinations of the mark and the mwe relations.
Αν και βρίσκεται στο σωστό δρόμο χρειάζεται περισσότερο χρόνο
advcl(χρειάζεται, βρίσκεται)
mark(βρίσκεται, Αν)
mwe(Αν, και)
