But as you will notice, there are things this code doesn't get. For example, I am only interested in <i class="">and</i>, but this code finds other conjunctions like <i class="">or</i> as well. I tried to incorporate this information into the code using the %mor tier (<i class="">coord|and</i>), but I think I made a mistake because I got a blank output. Also, while I can make this code work for subjects and objects, I don't know how I will extract cases of VP-level conjunction, because the heads of the conjoined phrases (the verbs) will not necessarily be adjacent. </font></div><div class=""><font class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font class="">Any help for solving these problems would be much appreciated.</font></div><div class=""><font class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font class="">Thank you so much,</font></div><div class=""><font class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font class="">Simge</font></div><div class=""><font class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font class=""><br class=""></font></div></div><div class=""><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
