obl:unmarked: unmarked oblique nominal
The obl:unmarked relation is used for a nominal (noun, pronoun, noun phrase) functioning as a non-core (oblique) argument or adjunct which is not marked with a preposition.
Usually this is for expressions of time but can also be for expressions of location or dimension.
Where the nominal is marked with a preposition we use obl.
