conj

The conj relation in SUD corresponds to the three UD relations: reparandum, conj and appos.

These three relations work as paradigmatic lists. That’s why in SUD, we decided to gather these three relations under the main relation conj to underline the similarity between the three.

In SUD, the basic conj relation is three different subtypes:

• conj:dicto for disfluencies when the speaker corrects his speech (parallel to reparandum in UD)
• conj:coord for elements connected by a coordinating conjunction (parallel to conj in UD)
• conj:appos for appositional modifiers that serve to define better the previous noun (parallel to appos in UD)

In the three cases, the relation relates the first conjunct to the second one, the conjunction itself upos=CCONJ is attached to the second conjunct with the relation cc.
