| − | '''Adjacency''' is the relation between two branches in a tree structure. In the UNL<sup>arium</sup> framework, adjacency is used to represent the structure of [[Syntax|maximal projections]] and, therefore, to state the distance of constituents in relation to the head.

| − | In the UNL<sup>arium</sup> framework, syntactic relations are described in terms of a general tree structure: the [[Syntax|X-bar]], depicted below.

| − | In structure above, the distance between the nodes ''X'' and ''comp'' is said to be lower than the distance between ''X'' and ''adjt'', which is said to be lower than the distance between ''spec'' and ''X''. This distance can be easily measured in terms of projections between the nodes: there's only one projection (''lower XB'') between ''X'' and ''comp''; there are two projections (''lower XB'' and ''higher XB'') between ''X'' and ''adjt''; and there are ''three'' projections between ''X'' and ''spec''.

| − | *AJ2: there are two projections between the constituent and the head (i.e., the constituent is adjacent to the lowest intermediate projection)

| − | *AJ3: there are three projections between the constituent and the head (i.e., the constituent is adjacent to the second lowest intermediate projection)

| − | *AJ4: there are four projections between the constituent and the head (i.e., the constituent is adjacent to the third lowest intermediate projection)
