nmod:unmarked: noun phrase as adnominal adverbial modifier
This relation is a subtype of the nmod relation, replacing the deprecated :npmod subtype, which captures cases where a noun phrase is used as an adverbial modifier in a sentence, without a preposition indicating its oblique status. The label applies to Layton’s category of inflected modifiers (IMODs) when they are modifying a nominal (otherwise use obl:unmarked instead). For example, the inflected modifier ⲧⲏⲣ⸗ ‘all of X’ is also seen as obl:unmarked, i.e. as syntactically more similar to ‘completely’ than a determiner ‘all’. Like all inflected modifiers, the pronoun is seen as a determiner in this case, similar to a possessive. In the following example, we can think of the meaning as ‘their entirety(-wise)’, or ‘by way of their entirety’.
Example:
ⲛ/DET ⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ/NOUN ⲧⲏⲣ/ADV ⲟⲩ/PRON \n all the others (lit. the others in their entirety)
nmod:unmarked(ⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ, ⲧⲏⲣ)
det(ⲧⲏⲣ, ⲟⲩ)
