Dependency Relations

nsubj

nsubj is used to describe the relationship between the root of a clause—typically a verb—with the nominal subject of the root. It can be used to connect verbs to subjects or to connect nouns to nouns to represent their equality.

Consider the following examples:

obj

obj is used to describe the relationship between the root of the clause—typically a verb—with a direct object. Typically, it comes after the subject but before the verb of the clause. Otherwise, it is used similarly to how it is used in English.

iobj

iobj is used to describe the relationship between the root of the clause—typically a verb—with an indirect object. Typically, it comes after the subject but before the verb of the clause. Otherwise, it is used similarly to how it is used in English.

appos

appos is used to describe the relationship between a nominal and another nominal that further specifies the nominal. In some cases, this can be used to clarify exactly what a pronoun is referring to, and also used to describe the common paradigm in Berik in which a subject is used twice in a sentence.

Consider the following examples:

aux

aux is used to describe the relationship between a verb to express tense, mood, aspect, voice or evidentiality. In Berik, we commonly use it to represent the relationship between the verb and an interrogative.
