nmod: nominal modifier
The nmod relation is used for nominal dependents of another noun or noun phrase. It usually corresponds to a non-agreeing attribute in genitive.
Noun modifiers typically precede the head noun (1), but in Lithuanian, constructions where modifiers follow the modified noun are also possible (2).
Čia yra direktoriaus kabinetas . \n This is the-director’s office .
nmod(kabinetas, direktoriaus)
nmod(office, the-director’s)
Mergaitė geltonais plaukais . \n Girl with-yellow hair .
nmod(Mergaitė, plaukais)
Nmod(Girl, hair)
A non-agreeing attribute can also be expressed using other noun cases, as well as with prepositions.
Įtaka vaikams . \n Influence on-children .
nmod(Įtaka, vaikams)
nmod(Influence, on-children)
Arbata su cukrumi . \n Tea with sugar .
nmod(Arbata, cukrumi)
nmod(Tea, sugar)
However, there is also a different kind of nmod that precedes the modified noun and agrees with it in case and number. A typical example is a title attached to a name of a person or other names.
Atvyko mokyklos direktorius Jonaitis . \n The-school director John has-arrived .
nmod(Jonaitis, direktorius)
nmod(John, director)
nmod can mark names:
Pažiūrėjau filmą „ Titanikas “ . \n I watched the-movie “ Titanic ” .
nmod(filmą, Titanikas)
nmod(the-movie, Titanic)
