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.
