nmod:npmod: noun phrase as adverbial modifier
⚠️ DEPRECATED: Beginning with the version 2.15 release, most English corpora will use the new nmod:unmarked relation instead. ⚠️
This relation is a subtype of the nmod relation, used when a prepositionless, non-possessive nominal serves as a modifier within a larger nominal. For example:
(i) rate expressions with meaning equivalent to “per”
IBM earned $ 5 a share
nmod:npmod($, share)
(ii) elementary properties
I want that color kitten
nmod:npmod(kitten, color)
a pizza the size of the sun
nmod:npmod(pizza, size)
(iii) emphatic reflexive pronouns
Einstein himself was in attendance .
nmod:npmod(Einstein, himself)
(iv) “a couple” as pre-head quantifier
You can have a couple/NOUN cookies .
det(couple, a)
nmod:npmod(cookies, couple)
A temporal modifier nmod:tmod is a subclass of npmod which is distinguished as a separate relation.
