nmod
: nominal modifier
The nmod
relation is used for nominal modifiers. They depend either
on another noun (group “noun dependents”) or on a predicate (group
“non-core dependents of clausal predicates”).
nmod
is a noun (or noun phrase) functioning as a
non-core (oblique) argument or adjunct.
This means that it functionally corresponds to an adverbial when it attaches to a verb, adjective or other adverb.
But when attaching to a noun, it corresponds to an attribute, or genitive complement.
The nmod
relation can be further specified by the case label assigned to prepositions.
- An exception for Greek is the iobj label assigned to certain nominal elements preceded by σε, από and για prepositions. See iobj for more.
nmod
is also used for nominal modifiers indicating time, cause, amount etc.:
