See  \RefOverview\ for information about sentential adjunct clauses, \RefSC\  for small clauses, and \RefWHph\ for subordinate clauses introduced by  {\it wh}\/-phrases.  \subsection{Definition of subordinating conjunction}  \index{conjunctions!subordinating}  The Treebank brackets as subordinating conjunctions those constructs  which introduce finite clauses, past participle clauses, and sentence  fragments. Most subordinate present participle clauses are classified as  nominal gerunds and introduced by prepositions (with a few exceptions, such  as clauses introduced by {\it while}\/). See \RefGP\ for  more information about the bracketing of present participles.  \index{participles!present}  Note that many words can function both as subordinating conjunctions and  prepositions. A word is considered a subordinating conjunction (heading an  SBAR) when it introduces a sentence, and a preposition (heading a PP) when  it introduces nominals and other complements.  \subsection{Distribution of subordinating conjunctions}  \subsubsection{Sentential/verbal adjunct}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (SBAR-TMP After  (S (NP-SBJ she)  (VP finished)))  ,  (NP-SBJ she)  (VP took  (NP a shower)))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ-1 She)  (VP read  (NP the paper)  (SBAR-TMP while  (S (NP-SBJ *-1)  (VP eating  (NP breakfast))))))  \end{verbatim}  \subsubsection{Adjunct or complement of noun}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ (NP Her muscles)  (SBAR-TMP before  (S (NP-SBJ-1 she)  (VP started  (S (NP-SBJ *-1)  (VP lifting  (NP weights)))))))  (VP were  (ADJP-PRD smaller)))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (NP the belief  (SBAR that  (S (NP-SBJ the world)  (VP is  (ADJP-PRD round)))))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (NP (NP such a pretty butterfly)  (SBAR that  (S (NP-SBJ I)  (VP smiled  (PP-CLR with (NP delight))))))  \end{verbatim}  When a postmodifying clause is introduced by {\it as}\/, there is usually no  {\it wh}\/-element.  \begin{verbatim}  (NP (NP the scenario)  (SBAR as  (S (NP-SBJ-4 *)  (VP depicted  (NP *-4)  (PP by  (NP-LGS the middle-of-the-road group))))))  \end{verbatim}  \subsubsection{Predicate}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ The perfect time)  (VP is  (SBAR-PRD after  (S (NP-SBJ she)  (VP finishes)))))  \end{verbatim}  \subsubsection{Complement of VP}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ Willie)  (VP knew  (SBAR (WHNP-1 who)  (S (NP-SBJ *T*-1)  (VP threw  (NP the ball))))))  \end{verbatim}  \subsubsection{Object of PP}  \begin{quote}  {\it  assuming (that) \\  excepted (that) \\  excepting (that) \\  given (that) \\  granted (that) \\  granting (that) \\  provided (that) \\  providing (that) \\  save (that) \\  seeing (that) \\  supposing (that)\\}  etc.  \end{quote}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (PP Given  (SBAR that  (S (NP-SBJ raindrops)  (VP are  (ADJP-PRD blue)))))  ,  (NP-SBJ (NP it)  (S *EXP*-2))  (VP does n't  (VP make  (NP sense)  (S-2 to get a blue umbrella)  (S-PRP because they will just blend in))))  \end{verbatim}  \subsubsection{{\it so ... that}} \index{so...that@{\it so...that}}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ These beliefs)  (VP (ADVP (ADVP so)  (SBAR *ICH*-5))  dominate  (NP (NP our educational establishment)  ,  (NP our media)  ,  (NP our politicians)  ,  and  (NP even  our parents))  (SBAR-5 that  (S (NP-SBJ (NP it)  (S *EXP*-1))  (VP seems  (ADJP almost  blasphemous))  (S-1 (NP-SBJ *)  (VP to  (VP challenge  (NP them))))))))  \end{verbatim}  \subsection{SBARs in comparative constructions} \index{SBAR!in comparative  constructions}  See \RefCompar\ for information about this subject.  \subsection{``Absolute {\it with}'' constructions} \index{with@{\it  with}!absolute {\it with}} \index{absolute {\it with}}  In line with the general policy stated above, present participle clauses  are bracketed S-NOM and dominated by PP and past participle clauses are  bracketed S and dominated by SBAR. See \RefGP\ for more  information.  \begin{verbatim}  (SBAR with  (S (NP-SBJ-3 the flowers)  (VP arranged  (NP *-3)  (PP by  (NP-LGS Penelope)))))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (PP with  (S-NOM (NP-SBJ her eyes)  (VP rolling)))  \end{verbatim}  When {\it with}\/ is followed by coordinated NPs/S-NOMs and past participles,  policy is undetermined. The following disparate bracketings are possible.  \index{with@{\it with}}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ the end result)  (VP would  (VP be  (NP-PRD (NP a leaner , meaner corporate America)  ,  (PP with  (UCP (NP soaring productivity and profits)  and  (S (NP-SBJ the weaker)  (VP gone  (PP-DIR to  (NP the wall))))))))))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (SBAR-ADV With  (S (S (NP-SBJ demand)  (VP growing))  and  (S (NP-SBJ workers)  (PP-PRD in  (NP short supply)))))  ,  (NP-SBJ many Japanese manufacturers)  (VP are  (VP spending  (ADVP-MNR heavily)  (PP-CLR on  (NP automation)))))  \end{verbatim}  \subsection{Bracketing of subordinating conjunctions}  \index{conjunctions!subordinating!bracketing of}  \subsubsection{Single-word} The following words are single-word subordinating  conjunctions and are bracketed SBAR. \index{SBAR}  \begin{quote}  \it  after, although, as \\  because, before \\  for \\  if \\  like \\  once \\  since, so \\  than, though \\  unless, until \\  whether, while  \end{quote}  \begin{verbatim}  (SBAR though  (S the world is no longer flat))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (SBAR though  (FRAG (ADJP flat)))  \end{verbatim}  \subsubsection{Multi-word} The following words are bracketed SBAR. No  internal structure is shown. \index{SBAR} \index{in case@{\it in  case}} \index{as if@{\it as if}} \index{in order to@{\it in order  to/that/for}} \index{in that@{\it in that}} \index{inasmuch  as@{\it inasmuch as}} \index{insofar as@{\it insofar as}}  \index{so that@{\it so that}} \index{such that@{\it such that}}  \index{so as@{\it so as}} \index{as though@{\it as though}}  \index{whether or not@{\it whether or not}}  \begin{quote}  \it  as if \\  as though \\  in case \\  in order to/that/for \\  in that \\  inasmuch as \\  insofar as \\  so as \\  so that \\  such that \\  whether or not  \end{quote}  \begin{verbatim}  (SBAR as if  (S he had walked for miles))  \end{verbatim}  Note that {\it such that}\/ is not always a subordinating conjunction:  \index{such that@{\it such that}}  \begin{itemize}  \item Subordinating conjunction:  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ X)  (VP divides  (PP-CLR into Y)  ,  (SBAR-ADV such that  (S (NP-SBJ the result)  (VP is  (NP Z))))))  \end{verbatim}  \item Not a subordinating conjunction: \index{such that@{\it such that}}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ the weather)  (VP is  (ADJP-PRD such  (SBAR that  (S you ought to bring your umbrella)))))  \end{verbatim}  \end{itemize}  Note that {\it or not}\/ in {\it whether or not}\/ is attached unlabeled in  SBAR whether the S precedes it or follows it. \index{whether or not@{\it  whether or not}}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ I)  (VP don't  (VP know  (SBAR whether or not  (S I should buy this)))))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ I)  (VP don't  (VP know  (SBAR whether  (S I should buy this)  or not))))  \end{verbatim}  The collocation {\it now that}\/ is most often bracketed: \index{now  that@{\it now that}}  \begin{verbatim}  (ADVP-TMP now  (SBAR that  (S ...)))  \end{verbatim}  \subsubsection{Modified subordinating conjunctions}  \begin{enumerate}  \item Degree/extent modifiers. These are, for the most part, left  unlabeled. However, in some cases (most often, with {\it especially}\/), they  have been labelled ADVP. Examples of both bracketings are given below.  \index{conjunctions!subordinating!modifiers of}  \begin{quote}  \it  only \\  even \\  just \\  especially  \end{quote}  \begin{verbatim}  (SBAR only  because  (S you agree to pay that 500 dollars))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (SBAR (ADVP only)  because  (S you agree to pay that 500 dollars))  \end{verbatim}  \item Quantitative modifiers.  The following are equally likely:  %about 25 each-R.  \begin{verbatim}  (SBAR-TMP (NP-ADV two weeks)  before  (S (NP-SBJ they)  (VP departed)))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (SBAR-TMP (NP two weeks)  before  (S (NP-SBJ they)  (VP departed)))  \end{verbatim}  \end{enumerate}  \subsection{Correlative {\it the}\/-clauses ({\it the...the...}  constructions)} \index{the...the@{\it the...the}}  There is no definitive policy for handling these cases. Most analyses  involve the use of SBAR. See \RefThe\ for more on the bracketing of  correlative {\it the}\/-clauses ({\it the...the} constructions).  \begin{verbatim}  (S (SBAR-ADV (X the sooner)  (S our vans hit the road each morning))  ,  (X the easier)  it is for us to fulfill that obligation)  \end{verbatim}  % Note: I am putting these unusual cases in %s--they don't seem relevant  % to this perrtickilur corpus.  % `` By rights I ought to leave that , seeing he won't take my  % clotheshorse '' .  %  % (S I ought to leave that  % ,  % (SBAR seeing or $ (VP seeing  % (S he won't ...
