It seems we have two ways of looking at the head-dependent relationship: what the head licenses, vs. what grammatical encoding the dependent has. Perhaps canonically, these will match: verbs often alternate between licensing an accusative non-prepositional nominal and licensing a clause with complement marking (*that* in English, *att* in Swedish?). But some verbs, like *litar*, license an alternation between an oblique (prepositional nominal) and a clause with both *på* and *att*. As this construction with both markers seems to be language-specific, perhaps it deserves a language-specific label like `ccomp:obl`. Calling it \"adverbial\" seems counterintuitive given the common usage of \"adverbial\" to mean adjunct. And as @manning has said, \"clausal oblique\" is a nonstandard concept.\r\n\r\nAlso—practically speaking, as an annotator/someone who trains annotators, I am inclined to put higher priority on the grammatical encoding than on alternations that the head licenses, because it's easier to label what is there in front of you than to consider alternative sentences.\r\n\r\nI understand the temptation to have complete symmetry in the classification that is made for clausal dependents as is made for nominal dependents. But to borrow a phrase from the Python community, I believe \"practicality beats purity\"—i.e. it's more important for UD users to be able to easily apply and understand the scheme in practice, using established concepts/terminology, than for the scheme to be perfectly elegant."}}
