IMPORTANT: to make the diagrams in this page render properly, add importScript('User:Mahir256/syndepgraph.js'); to your common.js (or load it some other way).

So you want to annotate a multi-part lexeme on Wikidata, but don't know where to start?

0: Verbs

edit

As most statements pertain to the verbs within then ("a wild goose never laid a tame egg", as a sentence, is about "laying"), the main action verb should be the root of the lexeme.

1: Subjects, objects, etc.

edit

Subjects, direct objects, and indirect objects should point directly to the root verb of the lexeme.

2: Adjectives and determiners

edit

Adjectives and determiners should point directly to the root of a given noun phrase.

3: Negation

edit

Negation particles should point directly to the verb they negate.

4: Prepositional phrases

edit

Prepositions in a prepositional phrase should point directly to the noun they modify, and the prepositional phrase should point directly to the verb. (There are a number of possibilities for what the relationship of the phrase to the verb could be.)

5: Adverbial modifiers

edit

Adverbial modifiers should point directly to the verb, adjective, or other adverb they modify.
