acl: Clausal modifier of noun
Definition
acl refers to a clause that modifies a noun within a sentence.
Characteristics
- The acl tag is a type of clause that, unlike a sentence, cannot function independently. It acts as a modifier of a noun within a sentence.
- The acl tag typically includes ETM (Ending Determinitive, 관형형 전성 어미), such as ‘-ㄴ’, ‘-는’, ‘-던’, and ‘-ㄹ’ combined with verbs or adjectives.
- Examples:
- 내 기억에 남는 여행지는 호주다.
- 부모님께 받은 유전자를 무시하기 어렵다.
- 무심코 했던 행동이 환경에 끼칠 영향을 생각해보자.
- 식단 같은 관리는 하지 않고 운동을 열심히 했다.

- acl: 우리는 서로 상호작용하는 사회에 살고 있다.
- amod: 누구나 다른 사람들과 상호작용한다.
Special cases

- 연습할수록 자신감이 붙을 겁니다.
