Dominance is the relation between two nodes in a tree structure. A node "dominates" another node if it is above it in the tree (it is a parent, grandparent, etc). In the UNLarium framework, dominance is used to represent the structure of maximal projections and, therefore, to state the degree of adjacency (i.e., the order) of constituents in relation to the head. Dominance is represented in the dictionary, in case of compound words that do not follow general dominance rules, or in the grammar, otherwise. Dominance is not represented in UNL.
Tree structures
In the UNLarium framework, syntactic relations are described in terms of a general tree structure: the X-bar.
