advcl: adverbial clause modifier

An adverbial clause modifier is a clause which modifies a verb or other predicate (adjective, etc.) as a modifier, not as a core complement. This includes things like temporal, conditional and purpose clauses, etc. The dependent must be clausal (or else it is an advmod) and the dependent is the main predicate of the clause.

Han gör inte ett dugg hemma när han kommer hem \n He doesn't do anything around the house when he gets home
advcl(gör, kommer)
Jag måste arbeta för att ekonomin ska gå ihop \n I have to work to make ends meet
advcl(arbeta, gå)
