Dependency analysis
Dependency tree
Se also seperate pages on compound, semantic, syntactic and morphological tags.
See also our Dependency wiki.
By means of the dependency parser sme-dep.rle the CG output is turned into dependency trees. The root, which does not have a head it depends on, is marked by 0. The element that depends on the head is marked by an arrow pointing at 0 ("->0"). Each token gets a number (#) and the a dependency link specifying a target head (->). The second word in the sentence for example receives the number 2. If it is a dependent of the root, it gets the tag ("#2->0"). The CG verb tags are substitued with other tags. Here is an example:
"<Muitaleastte>" "muitalit" V* TV Der2 Der/easti <mv> V Imprt Sg2 @FMV #1->0 "<fal>" "fal" Adv @<ADVL #2->1 "<munnje>" "mun" Pron Pers Sg1 Ill @<ADVL #3->1 "<goas>" "goas" Adv @ADVL> #4->7 "<doavttir>" "doavttir" N Sg Nom @SUBJ> #5->6 "<sáhttá>" "sáhttit" <aux> V IV Ind Prs Sg3 @FS-STA #6->1 "<boahtit>" "boahtit" <mv> V IV Inf @FS-IMV #7->6 "<.>" "." CLB #8->8 Muitaleastte / \ \ fal munnje \ sáhttá / \ doavttir boahtit. \ goas
Our dependency structure is based upon a compromise between the Saami grammatical tradition and the conventions used within the visl project.
Verb tags
The Saami disambiguation file sme-dep.rle adds dependency tags to each cohort. The CG verb tags are substituted with these tags:
- <mv> <aux>
There are main verbs and auxiliary verbs.
- @FMV @FAUX @IMV @IAUX
In main clauses: Finite main verb and auxiliary verb, and infinite main verb and auxiliary verb.
- @FS-STA @FS-N<
@FS is a finite verb in a subclause. The first one in a subclause which functions as a statement, the latter one in a relative subclause.
- @FS-IMV @FS-IAUX @FS-N<IMV @FS-N<IAUX
These are infinite main verbs and auxiliary verbs in an ordinary subclause and in a relative subclause.
- <ctjHead>
This tag helps in coordination contexts.

Coordination
Here are some examples of our coordination-analysis:
"Náhkiin sii gorro roavgguid, dorkkaid ja gápmagiid." From the skin they were sewing furs, coats and shoes. gorro / | \ Náhkiin sii roavgguid, / \ doarkkaid gápmagiid. / ja "Bárdni válddii niibbi ja čuohpai ráiggi sehkkii ja luittii mánáid olggos." The boy took the knife and cut a hole in the bag and let the children out. válddii_____ / / \ \ Bárdni niibbi \ luittii | čuohpai | \ ja / | mánáid olggos. / | ráiggi sehkkii | ja
Complex sentences
Here are some examples:
"Jus stállu vuoitá, de son goddá olbmo." If `Stállu' wins, he kills the person. vuoitá,__ / | \ \ Jus stállu de \ goddá / \ son olbmo. "Dasto don it beasa ruoktot jus borat min luhtte." Then you don't manage to get home if you eat at our place. it __ / | \ don beasa \ / \ \ Dasto ruoktot borat | \ jus luhtte. | min No finite verb in the the second main clause: "Vuos galgá liinna seaktit, de suohpput ja nuppi iđida fas geassit dan." First one should put bait on the line, then cast it, and on the next morning take it inn again. galgá | seaktit, ___________ / | \ \ \ Vuos liinna de suohpput geassit | / | \ ja iđeda fas dan. / nuppi No verb in the main clause: "Ovdal buorida Ipmil dálkkiidis go neavrres olmmoš dábiidis." Rather does God improve the weather than a miserable person his habits. buorida _______ / | \ \ Ovdal Ipmil dálkkiidis \ olmmoš / | \ go neavrres dábiidis.
Punctuation
Punctuation such as ".", "," and ";" also receive dependency tags. The sentence "Arvigoahtá. - It starts raining" actually consists of two elements, the finite verb and the punctuation. The full stop is also interpreted as a dependent of the root "#2->0".
Arguments and adjuncts
Subcategorized arguments such as "beatnagis - of the dog" in the sentence "Balat go beatnagis? - Are you afraid of the dog" are interpreted as dependents of the finite verb. Right now, we do not distinguish between sentence adverbials (adjuncts) and subcategorized arguments. "Odne - today" in "Odne arvá. - Today, it rains." is also interpreted as a dependent of the verb.
