Wikidata:Lexicographical data/Universal Dependencies/Mappings
importScript('User:Mahir256/syndepgraph.js'); to your common.js (or load it some other way).This page lists mappings of dependency relations (both the universal syntactic relations and the relation subtypes to Wikidata items used with syntactic dependency head relationship (P9763). Examples will be given for each relation type, and for each equivalent as much as possible.
Only mappings of UDv2 syntactic relations to values of P9763 are discussed here. While UD also defines part-of-speech tags and features, they will not be given analogues (as lexical categories and grammatical features on forms respectively) here.
Where possible, use the equivalent for an appropriate subtype listed below:
- relative clause (Q1402059) may be used here:
- adverbial clause (Q132120) may be used here in the most general case.
Below are some equivalents for certain subtypes of the 'advcl' relation:
- causal adverbial clause (Q944863) may be used here.
- comparative clause (Q1780774) may be used here.
- conditional clause (Q3923999) may be used here.
- locative adverbial clause (Q1868542) may be used here.
- temporal clause (Q2403074) may be used here.
- adverbial attribute (Q10401562) may be used here in general.
Where possible, use the equivalent for an appropriate subtype listed below:
- adverb of negation (Q55965107) may be used for general negative particles. (Those which carry information that, for otherwise positive sentences, would be present on the verb itself, should use an equivalent of aux:neg to be determined.)
- adjectival attribute (Q10401368) may be used here.
- auxiliary verb (Q465800) may be used with auxiliary verbs. Non-verb carriers of tense/aspect/mood/evidentiality may use other items not listed here.
A number of possibilities exist:
- adposition (Q134316) or its subclasses (preposition (Q4833830), postposition (Q161873), circumposition (Q358417)) may be used if the case marker in question is one of those things:
Where possible, use the equivalent for an appropriate subtype.
- coordinating conjunction (Q28833099) may be used here.
- classifier (Q63153) may be used here.
- nominal compound (Q1995936) may be used if both head and dependent are nouns.
Where possible, use the equivalent for an appropriate subtype listed below:
- light verb construction (Q1474669) may be used here for now.
- verb particle (Q10714103) may be used here.
- echo word (Q5332767) may be used here if that is the phenomenon being used:
Other types of reduplication (that do not involve words which cannot themselves stand alone) might use something general like reduplication (Q221446).
It is enough to use nominal compound (Q1995936) once the dependent is qualified with a object form (P5548) value for the construct-state form.
- syndeton (Q4120638) may be used here.
- copulative verb (Q28129955) may be used here.
- subjective clause (Q3924021) may be used here.
Just as UD recommends avoiding using this relationship, so too here it is recommended to be avoided, and no item equivalent shall be given for it now. If there is a compelling reason to retain it, please provide an example on this page's talk page.
- determiner (Q576271) may be used here.
- fixed expression (Q5456361) may be used here.
- multiword expression (Q6935164) may be used here in the general case; since there are other types of multiword expressions that are not flat, a better relation item is to be determined.
Where possible, use the equivalent for an appropriate subtype listed below:
It is recommended instead that text in one language appearing in a particular lexeme for another language, which might otherwise use this relation, instead be annotated with respect to the language of the foreign text.
- name (Q82799) or an appropriate subclass thereof might be used here.
- indirect object (Q1094061) may be used here:
A number of possibilities exist:
- subordinating conjunction (Q11655558) may be used if the marker in question is one.
- relativizer (Q56870226) may be used here if the marker in question is one.
Where possible, use the equivalent for an appropriate subtype.
- nominal attribute (Q12721176) could be used in the general case.
Where possible, use the equivalent for an appropriate subtype listed below:
- possessive (Q2105891) may be used here:
- subject (Q164573) may be used here in general.
Where possible, use the equivalent for an appropriate subtype below:
- patient subject (Q28064810) may be used here.
- numeral adjective (Q55951821) may be used here.
- direct object (Q2990574) may be used here:
Below are some equivalents for certain subtypes of the 'obl' relation:
- cause complement (Q3685150) may be used here.
- comparative phrase (Q10547483) may be used here.
(See obl:cmp above.)
(See obl:cmp above.)
- instrumental complement (Q3685154) may be used here.
- location complement (Q3685146) may be used here.

- genitive construction (Q2990588) may be used here.
- temporal adverbial (Q2403061) may be used here.
Where possible, use the equivalent for an appropriate subtype listed below:
- juxtaposition (Q3393049) may be used here.
- direct speech (Q283987) may be used if a quotation is used as the object of a verb.
(See parataxis:obj above.)
Although punctuation is simply handled through direct attachment to some suitable phrasal root, it is unresolved whether using lexemes for punctuation in "combines" values is necessary for lexemes on Wikidata, and so no equivalent is being provided at the moment.
- root node (Q1757074) for P9763 and "0" for P9764 on the root node may be used here:
- vocative (Q56312399) may be used here.
