nmod: nominal modifier

A nominal modifier. This is the label given to prepositional objects and other types of nominal dependents which are non-core arguments and not verbal modifiers (i.e. neither subject nor object nor oblique). Note that in keeping with Universal Dependencies for other languages, the nmod noun attaches directly to the lexeme it modifies (usually a noun), while the preposition is seen as a case dependent of the modifying noun.
