clause + ",ce " + relative clause #37

Example: Le camping n'est pas éclairé la nuit, ce qui n'est pas pratique. (The campsite is not lit at night, which is not practical.) The dependency est -> ce is not a dislocation. A dislocation is the detachment of a constituent at the beginning or end of a sentence and its resumption by a pronoun in the sentence. It is not an apposition because an apposition occurs between two nominals. My proposal is to annotate : est - [parataxis]-> ce

The UD validator requires that appos is left_headed. With the current data, the UD conversion in not valid because of these cases.

All cases mentioned by @bguil are annotated conj:appos by mistake: they should be annotated dislocated.

Decision: for the constructions in the form clause + ",ce" + relative clause, the pronoun ce depends on the head of the first clause through a parataxisdependency. Example: Le camping n'est pas éclairé la nuit, ce qui n'est pas pratique. (The campsite is not lit at night, which is not practical.) est (the first) -[parataxis]-> ce
