to entities or stating a given <a class=\"attached\" title=\"An event is the set of elements present and interactions happening within a given coorda.\" href=\"/node/event\">event</a> has or has not happened. For instance, the statement:</p>\n\n\n<blockquote>\nEarth is black\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Declares about the entity \"earth\" that it \"is black\".</p>\n\n<p>If we were to think of this statement as the basis for a <a class=\"attached\" title=\"A property is the assignment of a quality to an entity, for instance its width or location.\" href=\"/node/property\">property</a>, then \"earth\" would be the entity the property belongs to, \"color\" would be the property itself, and \"black\" its value.</p>\n\n<p>A statement can be recursively separated into a root (the verb) and its arguments, one of which is a subject and the other an object:</p>\n\n<pre>\n                 ROOT\n                  is [V]\n                  |\n              .---^---.\n              |       |\n        [S] Earth    black [O]\n              |\n        The --'\n\n        The Earth is black\n</pre>\n\n<p>This approach, known as <a class=\"external\" title=\"\" href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_grammar\">dependency grammar</a>, moves away from the binary dichotomy between subject and predicate and instead focuses on finding a locus of structure or <a class=\"attached\" title=\"A meaning is a relation between signs and entities.\" href=\"/node/meaning\">meaning</a> called the \"head\" or \"root\" of the <a class=\"attached\" title=\"A clause is a phrase that contains both a predicand and a predicate.\" href=\"/node/clause\">clause</a>.</p>\n\n<p>In this example, however, the verb \"is\" carries no meaning regarding the quality of this <em>being</em>. It merely acts as a link between the subject and object. This is called a <em>copula</em>. It has an important role, since otherwise <em>\"Earth black\"</em> would be less clear structurally. Despite this, the core meaning is not completely lost, and it would be if we instead had removed any of the other words.</p>\n\n<p>Copulas shift the semantics onto the <a class=\"attached\" title=\"In a clause, the predicate is what is said about the predicand.\" href=\"/node/predicate\">predicate</a>, making us derive the property \"color\" from the question of \"what <em>is</em> the object?\". This shows how in dependency grammars we have more than one dependency kind. While syntactically (regarding the phrase structure) <em>Earth</em> and <em>black</em> depend on <em>is</em>, semantically (regarding its meaning) <em>Earth</em> and <em>is</em> depend on <em>black</em>.</p>\n\n<p>For this reason, some dependent grammars avoid copular roots. In this case, the adjective <em>black</em> would then be the root. From this perspective, the tree looks like this instead:</p>\n\n<pre>\n                      ROOT\n                     black [O]\n                       |\n              .--------'\n              |    |\n        [S] Earth is [V]\n              |\n        The --'\n\n        The Earth is black\n</pre>\n\n<p>This allows us to create a clear <a class=\"attached\" title=\"A function is a well-defined process that always produces the same outputs when given the same inputs.\" href=\"/node/Function\">mapping</a> from statements to properties:</p>\n\n<pre>\n    Statement           Property\n
