'''Clauses''' are groups of words that consist of a subject and a predicate. They are said to be independent if they can stand alone as a sentence, or dependent (embedded, subordinate), otherwise. In the UNL framework, dependent clauses are represented as hyper-nodes (the so-called '''scopes''') linked to the main clause, as indicated below:
+
#REDIRECT [[Scope]]
 
+
*English: Mary saw Peter when John arrived.
+
**Mary saw Peter (independent clause)
+
**when John arrived (dependent clause)
+
*UNL:
+
**Mary saw Peter (independent clause) = agt(saw, Mary), obj(saw,Peter)
+
**John arrived (dependent clause) = agt:01(arrived, John)
+
**dependency relation = tim(saw, :01)
+
Where :01 is the number of the scope
