nmod
: nominal modifier
The nmod
relation is used for nominal modifiers of nouns or clausal
predicates. nmod
is a noun functioning as a non-core (oblique)
argument or adjunct. In English, nmod
is used
- for prepositional complements (including datives and partitives):
The nmod
relation holds between the noun/predicate modified by the
prepositional complement and the noun introduced by the preposition.
- for ‘s genitives:
Nominal modifiers not marked by a preposition or ‘s genitive
are tagged nmod:npmod, a subtype of nmod
. Temporal nominal
modifiers are also marked with a separate relation nmod:tmod. See
the definitions of these relations.
