advcl:relcl: adverbial relative clause modifier
This relation applies to a relative clause that is adverbial in one of the following ways:
(1) It modifies a clause (as opposed to typical relative clauses, which are adnominal and use acl:relcl).
For example, the antecedent is a clause in:
I tried to explain myself – which was a bad idea
advcl:relcl(tried, idea)
nsubj(idea, which)
This phenomenon also figures in it-clefts.
For detailed discussion, see the English relative clause guidelines: adverbial relatives, it-clefts.
(2) It forms a free relative with a WH-adverb (where, when, why, how) as head:
I looked where you were sitting
advcl:relcl(where, sitting)
advmod(looked, where)
See details on free relatives.
