    public interface DependencyParsingLayer
    extends TextCorpusLayer
    The DependencyParsingLayer annotates dependency relations between tokens. Each dependency annotation contains a reference to a token, or sequence of tokens, that is in a dependent role in the given relation, as well as a reference to a token, or sequence of tokens, that is in the governor role in the given relation. Optionally, the function of the dependent-governor relation is specified. In some cases, such as in the case of root dependency, the governor can be omitted. Additionally, the dependency layer specifies: a tagset for dependency function tags, whether empty tokens can be inserted into the dependency parse, whether a dependent can have more than one governor in the parse.
