Treebank Statistics (UD_English)

This relation is universal. There are 3 language-specific subtypes of nmod: nmod:npmod, nmod:poss, nmod:tmod.

19035 nodes (8%) are attached to their parents as nmod.

17837 instances of nmod (94%) are left-to-right (parent precedes child). Average distance between parent and child is 4.16837404780667.

Treebank Statistics (UD_English-ESL)

This relation is universal. There are 3 language-specific subtypes of nmod: nmod:npmod, nmod:poss, nmod:tmod.

7869 nodes (8%) are attached to their parents as nmod.

6849 instances of nmod (87%) are left-to-right (parent precedes child). Average distance between parent and child is 3.65777100012708.

The following 63 pairs of parts of speech are connected with nmod: VERB-NOUN (3185; 40% instances), NOUN-NOUN (1910; 24% instances), ADJ-NOUN (512; 7% instances), VERB-PRON (452; 6% instances), VERB-PROPN (328; 4% instances), NOUN-PROPN (252; 3% instances), NOUN-PRON (218; 3% instances), ADJ-PRON (147; 2% instances), VERB-NUM (120; 2% instances), NUM-NOUN (79; 1% instances), ADV-DET (73; 1% instances), VERB-DET (53; 1% instances), VERB-ADP (52; 1% instances), PRON-NOUN (49; 1% instances), ADV-NOUN (46; 1% instances), VERB-ADJ (30; 0% instances), VERB-ADV (29; 0% instances), DET-PRON (28; 0% instances), PROPN-PROPN (28; 0% instances), DET-NOUN (24; 0% instances), ADJ-PROPN (20; 0% instances), ADJ-DET (19; 0% instances), NOUN-NUM (18; 0% instances), PROPN-NOUN (17; 0% instances), NOUN-DET (16; 0% instances), ADV-PRON (12; 0% instances), NOUN-ADJ (11; 0% instances), PRON-PRON (11; 0% instances), NOUN-ADV (9; 0% instances), VERB-VERB (9; 0% instances), ADJ-ADP (8; 0% instances), NOUN-VERB (8; 0% instances), NUM-PRON (8; 0% instances), ADJ-ADV (7; 0% instances), ADJ-NUM (7; 0% instances), NOUN-ADP (6; 0% instances), NUM-NUM (6; 0% instances), SYM-NOUN (6; 0% instances), ADJ-ADJ (5; 0% instances), ADV-PROPN (5; 0% instances), NOUN-SYM (5; 0% instances), VERB-PART (5; 0% instances), NUM-ADJ (3; 0% instances), NUM-ADV (3; 0% instances), NUM-PROPN (3; 0% instances), PROPN-NUM (3; 0% instances), PROPN-PRON (3; 0% instances), ADJ-VERB (2; 0% instances), ADV-ADJ (2; 0% instances), ADV-VERB (2; 0% instances), PRON-ADJ (2; 0% instances), PRON-DET (2; 0% instances), ADP-NOUN (1; 0% instances), ADV-ADP (1; 0% instances), ADV-NUM (1; 0% instances), AUX-NOUN (1; 0% instances), INTJ-NOUN (1; 0% instances), NUM-ADP (1; 0% instances), PRON-NUM (1; 0% instances), PRON-PROPN (1; 0% instances), PROPN-SYM (1; 0% instances), SYM-SYM (1; 0% instances), VERB-INTJ (1; 0% instances).
