advcl: adverbial clause modifier
An adverbial clause modifier is a clause which modifies a verb or other predicate (adjective, etc.), as a modifier not as a core complement. This includes things such as a temporal clause, consequence, conditional clause, purpose clause, etc. The dependent must be clausal (or else it is an advmod) and the dependent is the main predicate of the clause.
Դեպքը պատահեց , երբ մթնում էր ։ \n The-accident happened , when it-was getting-dark .
advcl(պատահեց, մթնում)
advcl(happened, getting-dark)
Եթե գիտեք ով է արել , պետք է ասեք ուսուցչին ։ \n If you-know who has-done , you must tell the-teacher .
advcl(ասեք, գիտեք)
advcl(must, you-know)
Նա շտապում էր , որ ժամանակին տեղ հասնի ։ \n He rushed , in-order-to arrive in-time .
advcl(շտապում, հասնի)
advcl(rushed, arrive)
Optional Depictives
This relation is also used for optional depictive adjectives, where the adjective is introduced in clause structure independently of the nominal it describes (contrast: acl if the adjective is an adnominal predicate). The depictive adjective is treated as an adverbial clause modifier of the higher clause. The adjective also provides a secondary predication, where the nominal predicand may or may not be overt; if it is overt, the secondary predication can be represented with an enhanced dependency. See xcomp for further discussion of resultatives and depictives.
