Detailed Description

The meaning of the type SDominanceRelation is a part-of relation.

In contrast to the SSpan and the SSpanningRelation, a SStructure is not just a placeholder for a bunch of SToken objects, it is a proper element itself. The same goes for SDominanceRelation objects. For instance, in many cases it makes a linguistic difference whether tokens t1 , t2 and t3 are directly dominated by a structure s1 or whether t1 and t2 are dominated by a structure s2 which is, together with t3 , dominated by structure s2.
