Notes
* In the Romanian case system the value 'direct' conflates 'nominative' and 'accusative', while the value 'oblique' conflates 'genitive' and 'dative'.
If we want to list these values as belonging to the same Case universe, i.e. if we want either 'direct', 'nominative' and 'accusative' or 'oblique', 'genitive' and 'dative' appear all together in the same system, their semantics should be explained and their internal relationships represented. We suggest here to follow the same strategy adopted within the EAGLES validation exercise, where different kinds of relationships between values have been formally represented by adding indexes to the values of interest:
- in this example, the kind of relation 'direct' and 'oblique' have with other values of the system is of 'replacement'. We mark this labelling 'direct' and 'oblique' with the index 'R' and adding the numerical indexes 1 to 'direct' and 2 to 'oblique', which point to the values which are respectively replaced.
