SCONJ: subordinating conjunction

Definition

A subordinating conjunction is a conjunction that links constructions by making one of them a constituent of the other. The subordinating conjunction typically marks the incorporated constituent which has the status of a (subordinate) clause.

We recognize these two subclasses as subordinating conjunctions:

For coordinating conjunctions see CONJ.

Morphology

The form / lemma ratio of SCONJ is 1.214286 (the average of all parts of speech is 1.491496).

The 1st highest number of forms (3) was observed with the lemma “perché”: ch’, perchè, perché.

The 2nd highest number of forms (3) was observed with the lemma “poiché”: chè, ché, poiché.

The 3rd highest number of forms (2) was observed with the lemma “affinché”: affinchè, affinché.

SCONJ does not occur with any features.
