The image is a table that provides information about different types of dependency relations used in linguistic analysis, particularly within the context of Universal Dependency (UD). The table is divided into several sections with clear headings and descriptions.

### Clausal Argument Relations:
- **NSUBJ**: Nominal subject.
- **DOBJ**: Direct object.
- **IOBJ**: Indirect object.
- **CCOMP**: Clausal complement.

### Nominal Modifier Relations:
- **NMOD**: Nominal modifier.
- **AMOD**: Adjectival modifier.
- **NUMMOD**: Numeric modifier.
- **APPOS**: Appositional modifier.
- **XCOMP**: Open clausal complement.

### Other Notable Relations:
- **CONJ**: Conjunction.
- **CC**: Coordinating conjunction.
- **DET**: Determiner.
- **CASE**: Prepositions, postpositions and other case markers.

The table is labeled as "Figure 13.2 Selected dependency relations from the Universal Dependency set." It references a source: (de Marneffe et al., 2014).

### Description of the Table:
The table lists various types of dependencies that are used to describe relationships between words in sentences, particularly focusing on how different parts of speech interact within clauses. Each row provides a specific type of dependency relation followed by its description.

For example:
- **NSUBJ** (Nominal subject) refers to the word or phrase that performs the action described by the verb.
- **DOBJ** (Direct object) is what receives the action performed by the verb, directly affected by it.
- **IOBJ** (Indirect object) is a recipient of an action but not necessarily receiving something from the direct object.

The table also includes relations like **NMOD**, which describes how adjectives modify nouns; and **CONJ**, which indicates conjunctions that link words or phrases together. These are fundamental to understanding sentence structure in linguistic analysis.

This type of information is crucial for students studying linguistics, computational linguistics, or natural language processing as it helps them understand the syntactic relationships between different elements within a sentence.
