nmod
: nominal modifier
The nmod
relation is used for nominal dependents of another noun or noun phrase and functionally corresponds to
an attribute, or genitive complement.
New from v2: The nmod
relation was previously used also for nominal dependents of verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. These are now covered by the new obl relation.
In English, plain nmod
applies to prepositionally-marked dependents of nominals (the preposition itself attaches as case):
The subtype nmod:poss applies to nominals with possessive (genitive) marking instead of a preposition:
The possessive can alternate with the preposition of, in which case only the relation label differs:
Prepositionless, non-possessive nominals serving as adnominal modifiers are tagged with the subtyped relation nmod:unmarked:
