An independent sentential form (containing a predicate) Pred_Pa

Representation of Pred_Pa

INFO_PA

Afun Pred_Pa is assigned to the predicate (i.e. the node that would get afun Pred) of the parenthetical sentence, if the sentence is not syntactically included into the structure. This node is suspended under the predicate of the clause, in which parenthesis occurs, or, as the case may be, on the node with # (i.e. if the parenthesis is a complete sentence).

Afun Pred_Pa is also asigned to expressions such as viz (see), srov. (compare) etc., if these expressions are inserted in a sentence; if such an expression forms the main clause, it is assigned afun Pred).

Such constructions as jak uvedl ... (as quoted ...), jak řekl (as said ...), jak jsem se dozvěděl (as I heard) are also assigned afun Pred_Pa.

Words with afun Pred_Pa are emphasised.
