Syntactic annotation – appositives and parentheticals

The extended label -PRN is applied to appositive and parenthetical constituents. As such, it may occur with virtually any phrase type.

Some things to note:

• Appositive constituents are contained within the constituent to which they are in apposition:

(NP-SBJ (NE Abraham)
        (NP-PRN (DPOSA ivwe) ← appositive constituent
                (NA vader))
)     

 

• Parenthetical clauses are contained within the clause to which they are paranthetical:

(IP-MAT (ADVP (AVD Oeck))
        (VVFIN secht)
        (NP-SBJ (NA sunte)
                (NE gregorius))
        (IP-MAT-PRN (NP-OB1 (DPDS dat)) ← paranthetical clause
                    (VVFIN weet)
                    (NP-SBJ (PPER ic))
                    (ADVP AVD wal))
