Adjacency is the relation between two branches in a tree structure. In the UNLarium framework, adjacency is used to represent the structure of maximal projections and, therefore, to state the distance of constituents in relation to the head.
The number of intermediary projections define the values of the adjacency in the UNLarium framework, which are the following:
Examples
XP
/ \
spec XB4
/ \
XB3 adjt2
/ \
XB2 adjt1
/ \
XB1 comp2
/ \
X comp1
In structure above:
- comp1 = AJ1 (there is only one projection (XB1) between comp1 and X)
- comp2 = AJ2 (there are two projections (XB1 and XB2) between comp2 and X)
- adjt1 = AJ3 (there are three projections (XB1, XB2 and XB3) between adjt1 and X)
- adjt2 = AJ4 (there are four projections (XB1, XB2, XB3, XB4) between adjt2 and X)
