advmod: adverbial modifier

An adverbial modification, usually modifying a verb or a noun. This can be an adverb like ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ‘very much’, ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ‘there’, a sentence particle (modifying the main predicate) like ⲅⲁⲣ ‘after all’, or a directional adverbial such as ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ‘out’, as well as Greek adverbs in -ⲱⲥ.

Inflected modifiers (Scriptorium tag IMOD, cf. Layton 2011: 118-123) which were previously analyzed as adverbial, are now tagged as obliques with the special subtype obl:npmod.

Finally, this is also the label for negations such as ⲁⲛ, ⲛ, ⲧⲙ etc. which receive the Scriptorium POS tag NEG. The attachment is to the negated element, often from the predicate or verb. Copula sentence negation is attached to the predicate, not to the copula. In circum-negation (ⲛ…ⲁⲛ), both elements are attached to the same element with the neg label.
