| '''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
