| − | '''UNL sentences''', or UNL expressions, are sentences of UNL. They are hypergraphs made out of nodes ([[Universal Words]]) interlinked by binary semantic [[relations]] and modified by [[attributes]]. UNL sentences have been the basic unit of representation inside the UNL framework.

| − | == Syntax ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | According to the [[Specs|UNL Specs]], there are two different ways of representing UNL sentences: the table format and the list format. In the list format, UWs and relations are represented separately; in the table format, they constitute a single structure.
| + | |

| − | === List Format ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The syntax for UNL sentences in the list format is the following:

| − | {|
