advmod: adverbial modifier

The relation advmod is used for adverbs and adverbial phrases that modify another word. It is not used for adverbially used prepositional phrases (these are obl), nor for adverbial clauses (these are advcl).

The negation particle nicht “not” also receives the relation advmod. However, a different approach is taken to the negative determiner kein “no”, which receives either the det relation, or one of the other relations for nominal dependents if it heads a nominal.

Kannst du schneller laufen ? \n Can you run faster ?
advmod(laufen, schneller)
Das ist nicht viel . \n This is not much .
advmod(viel, nicht)

Note that adverbs can also modify other adverbs:

Er weiß es möglicherweise selbst noch nicht . \n He possibly does not know it himself yet .
advmod(weiß, möglicherweise)
advmod(weiß, selbst)
advmod(weiß, nicht)
advmod(nicht, noch)
