advmod: adverbial modifier

An adverbial modifier of a word is a (non-clausal) adverb or adverbial phrase that serves to modify the meaning of the word.

Note that nouns in particular morphological cases, or followed by an adposition are marked using obl even if they function as adverbial modifiers.

Çok iyi bir kitap \n A very good book
advmod(iyi, Çok)
Sürekli konuşuyorlar \n They are talking continuously
advmod(konuşuyorlar, Sürekli)

We use a special label, tr-dep/advmod:emph for adverbial modifiers that are used for emphasis.

Negation

In UD v1, there was a special relation neg. In UD v2, advmod is used in its place. The negation modifier is the relation between a negation word and the word it modifies.

In Turkish, negation is typically done through suffixation. We use advmod only if the non-predicative use of the word değil.

Elma değil , armut al demiştim . \n I asked for pears, not for apples.
advmod(Elma, değil)
En büyüğünü al dedim, küçük değil . \n I told you to get the biggest
not small(est)
advmod(küçük, değil)
Değil üniversite , orta okulu bile bitirmemiş . \n Let alone the university, he did not even finish the secondary school
advmod(üniversite, Değil)
