One of the main features of this language is that focus is marked **morphosyntactically** by means of inflectional elements. Such elements convey grammatical specifications of the verb, including person, number, mood, but also the information structure of the sentence (focus). \r\n\r\nWolof has three focus constructions: Subject focus, verb focus, and complement focus. These constructions vary morphosyntactically according to the syntactic function of the focused constituent: subject, verb, or complement (any constituent which is neither subject nor main verb). At the morphological level, the subject takes a different form depending on the focus type. At the syntactic level, we can identify two different word order: Subject and verb focus sentences are SVO, while the complement focus has OSV.    \r\n\r\nHere some examples for the 3rd person singular subject. (_lekk_ \"eat\" and _jën_ \"fish\"):\r\n\r\n- Subject focus: _**Moo** lekk jën_ (\"HE has eaten fish\") \r\n\r\n- Verb focus: _**Dafa** lekk jën_ (\"He has EATEN fish\") \r\n\r\n- Complement focus: _Jën **la** lekk_ (\"He has eaten FISH)\r\n\r\nIn the current UD guidelines, there seems to be no feature that covers this aspect. I was wondering if it would be possible to introduce a new feature _Focus_ that would take (at least) one of the following values: _Subj_ or _Verb_ or _Comp_. These would correspond to feature for the focus markers _moo_, _dafa_ and _la_, respectively."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/UniversalDependencies/docs/issues/comments/440017599","html_url":"https://github.com/UniversalDependencies/docs/issues/590#issuecomment-440017599","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/UniversalDependencies/docs/issues/590","id":440017599,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQ0MDAxNzU5OQ==","user":{"login":"chedio","id":39557185,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjM5NTU3MTg1","avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/39557185?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/chedio","html_url":"https://github.com/chedio","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chedio/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chedio/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chedio/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chedio/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chedio/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chedio/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chedio/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chedio/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chedio/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-11-19T19:42:41Z","updated_at":"2018-11-19T19:42:41Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"To me, it sounds strange to not assign _na_ the _nsubj_ relation in the second case."}}
