Definition

WH subordinate clauses with no stance subcategory. MFTE’s WHSCother = WHSC clauses that have no additional stance verb tag.

Detection Rules

mfte

WHSC residual. Uses WHSC as base since we don’t have the stance verb features (WhVCOMM, WhVATT, etc.) fully implemented.

Notes

MFTE tracks stance verbs governing WH clauses separately. WHSCother = WHSC minus stance verb subcategories.
