Other clause-level ADJPs (ADJP-SPR)

The dash tag -SPR is mnemonic for 'secondary predicate';
see Secondary predicate NPs for
a list of verbs that take secondary predicates. But this dash tag is
also appended to all clause-level ADJPs that are not the predicate of a
copular verb or small clause, or labelled
ADJP-LOC. In addition to secondary predicates, ADJP-SPRs thus
also include adjectival adjuncts (parallel to adjunct participial clauses) and the

At the clausal level, NPs are either labelled with a dash tag indicating
their function, or they bear an index linking them to a trace or associate.
Subject (NP-SBJ)
All clauses contain a marked subject except imperatives (where subjects
are indicated only when overt) and infinitives with PRO subjects. Apart
from these two cases, when a clause has no overt subject, an empty subject is added. The
infinitival complements of ECM verbs have subjects; see ECM versus object control.

In the modern construction, the experiencer is labelled
NP-SBJ, and the theme NP-OB1, as with ordinary monotransitive
verbs.
This class also includes monotransitives accompanied by an
"affected" NP (benefactives, etc.), usually corresponding to a Modern
English prepositional phrase headed by FOR.
NP-OB1 + NP-OB2
Ditransitive verbs are defined as verbs that can appear with two NP
objects. We have divided them into two classes:
Class I ditransitives
Class I ditransitives include verbs that originally generally took the
accusative of person and genitive of thing. In Modern English, the
second object is usually a PP with FROM or OF. Common meanings are
DELIVER, DEPRIVE, REMIND, SAVE. Some of the verbs of Class I are:
alesen, bereueden, benimen, forgremen, munen, mune+gen

| The distinction between NP-MSR and QP, described immediately below, is not straightforward, and it is likely that some instances of one category are mistagged as the other. Searches for one category should therefore generally include the other. |
At the sentence level, noun phrases expressing measure are labelled NP-MSR. As is generally the case with noun phrases, categories other than nouns may act as the head of NP-MSR.

Measure phrases at levels lower than the sentence (notably, within ADJP and ADVP) are treated slightly differently. Here, measure expressions headed by Q are not surrounded by NP-MSR. But other measure phrases continue to be surrounded by NP-MSR brackets, even when they consist of a single word.

When extracted out of ADJP or ADVP, measure phrases leave traces of the appropriate category (either NP-MSR or QP). Extracted QP measure phrases receive no surrounding NP-MSR, even when they end up at the clausal level, contrary to the general convention of surrounding all clause-level measure phrases with NP-MSR brackets.

In general, only phrases, and not words, are marked as resumptive, and so the -RSP label may be attached to the phrase that contains the resumptive element, rather than to the resumptive element itself. An exception is found in connection with verb fronting in free relatives.

The extended label -PRN can be attached to any constituent label and indicates either an appositive or a parenthetical. If the appositive/parenthetical constituent immediately follows its co-constituent, it is included in the co-constituent's brackets. If separated from its co-constituent, it is coindexed with a trace within the co-constituent. The two most common types are separated NP appositives (often probably right-dislocation structures) and clauses (usually THAT clauses) appositive to demonstratives (usually THIS or THAT).
