Example sentences

Example 1

skaermbillede 2016-07-05 16 26 07

In this example, it seems like we want the nsubj relation to partition into a subject and a verb as usual, the xcomp relation should purely mark a nested statement, while the cop relation clearly has a governor that should be a DirectObject ("brave") and a dependent that should be a Verb ("be"). The question is what do to about the mark relation?

Example 2

skaermbillede 2016-07-05 16 30 23

In this second example, it is clear that the governor in an nsubj relation is probably an adjective, not a verb, when there is a cop relation going out from it. In this case, the dependent in the cop relation should become a Verb and its governor should become a DirectObject (similar to example 1).
