the functor PREC.

All particles and paratactic connectives that signal connection to the preceding context are always non-contrastive contextually non-bound modifications (e.g.: tedy (=so), proto (=therefore), však (=however), tudíž (=hence), totiž (=thus) etc.), i.e. modifications with the functor PREC (see Section 7.4, "PREC"). Their primary function is to integrate the sentence into the context.

the functor ATT.

Also attitudinal particles, i.e. modifications with the functor ATT, are usually non-contrastively contextually bound (see Section 7.1, "ATT").

Example:

the functor VOCAT.

Modifications with the functor VOCAT are also usually non-contrastively contextually bound (see Section 1.3, "VOCAT"), because they refer to the addressee of the text, who is part of the situational context. Vocatives usually stand at the beginning of sentences, which is also the position in tectogrammatical trees at which nodes with the VOCAT functor are placed. We move them to the first position in the tectogrammatical tree even if in the surface word order they stand somewhere else.

Example:

functors for noun modifications (RSTR, APP, MAT or ID).

Most noun modifications, i.e. modifications with adnominal functors (see Section 10, "Specific adnominal functors"), especially with the functor RSTR, tend towards contextual non-boundness because their function is to specify their governing nouns. Nodes representing adnominal modifications expressed by adjectives, nouns, pronouns or numerals are therefore usually assigned the tfa value f, even though they are placed to the left from the noun in the surface word order. We assign the value t only when the particular attribute is repeated or is obvious from the preceding context.

Example:

functors for manner and its specific variants (MANN etc.).

Adverbs of manner that specify the event expressed by a verb, i.e. modifications with the functors for manner and its specific variants (see Section 6, "Functors for expressing manner and its specific variants"), especially with the functor MANN. Nodes representing these modifications are therefore usually assigned the tfa value f and are moved to the right after the verb (even though they stand to the left from it in the surface word order).

Example:

the functor MOD.

Also modal adverbials, i.e. modifications with the functor MOD (see Section 7.3, "MOD"), specifying the modality of the governing event, are contextually non-bound.

the functor DENOM.

Nodes with the functor DENOM (see Section 1.2, "DENOM"), i.e. effective roots of nominative clauses (titles, lists etc.), are usually contextually non-bound. Nominative clauses are usually not related to context, they do not contain contextually bound expressions. In most cases, the whole nominative clause is contextually non-bound.

Example:

the functor PAR.

The effective roots of syntactically non-incorporated parentheses, i.e. nodes with the functor PAR (see Section 1.5, "PAR"), are also usually contextually non-bound. The underlying order of nodes with the functor PAR, however, corresponds to their surface order because they represent independent clauses not integrated into the structure of the sentence.

This is an exception from the basic guidelines for the ordering of nodes on the tectogrammatical level (see Section 3.1, "Basic guidelines for the ordering of nodes in a tectogrammatical tree").
