acl:
clausal modifier of noun

acl stands for finite and non-finite clauses that modify a nominal. A relative clause is an instance of acl, characterized by finiteness and usually omission of the modified noun in the embedded clause. The head of the acl relation is the noun that is modified, and the dependent is the head of the clause that modifies the noun.

advcl:
adverbial clause modifier

An adverbial clause modifier (advcl) is a clause which modifies a verb or other predicate (adjective, etc.), as a modifier, not as a core complement. This includes temporal clauses, consequences, conditional clauses, purpose clause, etc. The dependent must be clausal (otherwise, it is an advmod) and the dependent is the main predicate of the clause.

aux:
auxiliary

The aux relation occurs between a verb and and auxiliary. In general, Basque verbs encode only aspect, while temporal and agreement features show up in the auxiliary, as well as transitivity.

There are mainly two auxiliary lemmas izan (to be) corresponding to intransitives and ukan (to have) corresponding to transitives.

Even if Basque word order is quite free, the auxiliary can only appear right after the verb in non-negative sentences, and right after the negation in negative sentences.

  • Example of an auxiliary in an intransitive sentence (auxiliary lemma izan/to be):

Bi zati hauek markaturik dauden tokietatik tolesten dira .

ccomp:
clausal complement

A clausal complement of a verb or adjective (ccomp) is a dependent clause which is a core argument, that is, it functions like an object of the verb, or adjective. Such clausal complements need to be finite (the relation that corresponds to non finite clausal complements is xcomp).

csubj:

The governor of this relation might not always be a verb: when the verb is a copular verb, the root of the clause is the complement of the copular verb. The dependent is the main lexical verb or other predicate of the subject clause.

det:
determiner

The relation determiner (det) holds between a nominal head and its [determiner]. Determiners are words that modify nouns or noun phrases and express the reference of the noun phrase in context. That is, a determiner may indicate whether the noun is referring to a definite or indefinite element of a class, to a closer or more distant element, to an element belonging to a specified person or thing, to a particular number or quantity, etc.

Note that cardinal numerals (one, five, hundred) are not tagged DET but nummod.

  • Ordinal numbers are considered det in Basque:

mwe:
multi-word expression

mwe, the multi-word expression (modifier) relation, is one of the three relations (compound, mwe, name) for compounding. It is used for certain fixed grammaticized expressions that behave like function words or short adverbials.

name:
name

name 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. Words joined by name should all be part of a minimal noun phrase; otherwise, regular syntactic relations should be used.
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.

neg:
negation modifier

The negation modifier (neg) is the relation between a negation word and the word it modifies. Modifiers labeled neg depend either on a noun (group “noun dependents”) or on a predicate (group “non-core dependents of clausal predicates”).

  • Predicate negation:

nmod:
nominal modifier

The nmod relation (nmod) is used for nominal modifiers. They depend either on another noun (group “noun dependents”) or on a predicate (group “non-core dependents of clausal predicates”). nmod is a noun (or noun phrase) functioning as a non-core (oblique) argument or adjunct. This means that it functionally corresponds to an adverbial when it attaches to a verb, adjective or other adverb. But when attaching to a noun, it corresponds to an attribute, or genitive complement.

nsubj:
nominal subject

The nsubj marks nominal subjects of the non-copular clause. Being Basque a morphologically ergative language, subjects of transitive verbs are marked with the ergative case, while subjects of intransitive verbs are marked with the absolutive case.

Example of a subject in an intransitive sentence (ABS case):

Bi zati hauek markaturik dauden tokietatik tolesten dira .

These two parts fold by the sites that are marked .

Bi zati hauek markaturik dauden tokietatik tolesten dira .\n Two parts these marked are_that sites_the_by fold .

punct:
punctuation

punct relation is used to annotate punctuation marks.

Two kinds of punctuations can be distinguished:

  • Punctuation acting as a conjunction in coordinations
  • The rest of the punctuation marks

  • Punctuation in coordination

Coordination in the Basque UD annotation follows the general schema where the first element of the conjunction is the head, and each conjunct, conjunction complementizer or puntuation mark acting as a conjunction should be attached to the first conjunct:

Zidane, Henry, Barthez, Deschamps, Blanc eta enparauek Europako Talde sendoena osatzen dute aditu gehienentzat .

xcomp:
open clausal complement

An open clausal complement (xcomp) of a verb or an adjective is a predicative or clausal complement without its own subject (“without its own subject” does not mean that a clause is an xcomp just because its subject is not overt). The reference of the subject is necessarily determined by an argument external to the xcomp (normally by the object of the next higher clause, if there is one, or else by the subject of the next higher clause). These clauses are non-finite in Basque (although in some languages can be finite).
