AdvType: AdvType
We annotate the type of the adverb because it is needed for validating predicate external complements.
For example, the adverb in Tha mi an-seo ‘I am here’ is the predicate (xcomp:pred), but the adverb in mar a bha mi an-dè ‘as I was yesterday’ is simply an adverbial modifier (advmod) because I can be here (and I am) but I can’t be yesterday.
