Dependency relations

obj

The object relation relates a verb and its object. Bikol is a VSO language, so the object of the verb is usually found after the subject, like in the following two examples.

"<Iinulí>"
	"ulí" vblex pres @root #1->0
"<ko>"
	"ko" prn p1 sg @nsubj #2->1
"<an>"
	"an" det ind @det #3->4
"<libró>"
	"libró" n @obj #4->1
"<.>"
	"." sent @punct #5->1

• In this sentence, which translates to "I return a book", libró is the object and depends on the verb, iinulí.

"<Ipaháli>"
	"háli" vblex inf @root #1->0
"<mo>"
	"mo" prn p2 sg @nsubj #2->1
"<an>"
	"an" det ind @det #3->4
"<pósters>"
	"pósters" n @obj #4->1
"<na>"
	"na" link @clf #5->6
"<nakadukót>"
	"dukót" adj sg @amod #6->4
"<sa>"
	"sa" pr @case #7->8
"<tuláy>"
	"tuláy" n @obl #8->1
"<..>"
	".." sent @punct #9->1

• Similarly, pósters is the object of this sentence and depends on the verb, ipaháli.

advmod

An adverbial modifier of a word is an adverb or adverbial phrase that modifies a predicate or modifier word.

"<Patosón>"
	"patós" vblex inf @root #1->0
"<mo>"
	"mo" prn p2 sg @nsubj #2->1
"<an>"
	"an" det ind @det #3->4
"<pansít>"
	"pansít" n @obj #4->1
"<,>"
	"," cm @punct #5->6
"<tápos>"
	"tápos" cnjadv @conj #6->1
"<,>"
	"," cm @punct #7->8
"<darahón>"
	"dará" vblex inf @conj #8->1
"<mo>"
	"mo" prn p2 sg @nsubj #9->8
"<digdí>"
	"digdí" adv @advmod #10->8
"<.>"
	"." sent @punct #11->1

• In this sentence, digdí (or here) is the adverbial modifier that modifies the verb darahón (the command form of 'bring').

"<Tápos>"
	"tápos" adj sg @root #1->0
"<na>"
	"na" adv @advmod #2->1
"<an>"
	"an" det ind @det #3->4
"<prográma>"
	"prográma" n @nsubj #4->1
"<sa>"
	"sa" pr @case #5->6
"<gym>"
	"gym" n @nmod #6->4
"<?>"
	"?" sent @punct #7->1

• This sentence translates to "Is the program in the gym already done?" The predicate is an implied "is", so the root the adjective, tápos (done). The adverbial modifier na (already) describes this adjective.

advcl

• • • IMPLEMENT CHANGES BELOW IN ACTUAL CODE ***

According to the Universal Dependencies documentation, an adverbial clause modifier is a clause which modifies a verb or other predicate as a modifier and not as a core complement. In my corpora, this relation came up in if statements.

"<Kon>"
	"kon" cnjsub @advmod #1->2
"<makuá>"
	"kuá" vblex inf @advcl #2->5
"<mo>"
	"mo" prn p2 sg @nsubj #3->2
"<,>"
	"," cm @punct #4->5
"<itaó>"
	"taó" vblex inf @root #5->0
"<mo>"
	"mo" prn p2 sg @nsubj #6->5
"<saná>"
	"saná" adv @advmod #7->5
"<sakó>"
	"sakó" prn p1 sg @iobj #8->5
"<.>"
	"." sent @punct #9->2
