I'm pretty sure(?) the answer to this will be 'use flat', but I'm running into sometimes long titles of films in the next edition of GUM and wanted to make very sure we want these cases to be flat:
She won the César Award for Best Actress for The Old Lady Who Walked in the Sea (1992)
flat(The,Old)
flat(The,Lady)
flat(The,Who)
....
?
It seems clear to me that the title is acting as an NP, and is some kind of name, so probably flat is appropriate, but of course it also has a syntactic structure. The PTB had an interesting device to deal with such cases, which was to place the full title under a category node NP-TTL, and then analyze the internal syntax below that as usual. But we don't have that option in normal dependencies of course...
I guess my question is: do we definitely want all such titles, no mater how long or complex, to be all flat? I see how it's correct, but also worry a little that this could confuse parsers a lot.
