layout: relation | ||
title: 'nmod:unmarked' | ||
shortdef : 'unmarked nominal modifier' | ||
udver: '2' | ||
--- | ||
|
||
This relation is a subtype of the [nmod]() relation that applies | ||
when a non-possessive modifier within a nominal takes the form of a | ||
nominal lacking a preposition (a.k.a. a noun phrase). It is | ||
"unmarked" in that, unlike most `nmod`s, it has no adposition or | ||
genitive marking. | ||
|
||
`nmod:unmarked` merges two older subtypes, `nmod:npmod` and `nmod:tmod`. | ||
It has a clause-level countepart: [obl:unmarked](). | ||
|
||
Examples include: | ||
|
||
(i) temporal modifiers | ||
|
||
~~~ sdparse | ||
Are you free for lunch some day this week ? | ||
nmod:unmarked(lunch, day) | ||
det(day, some) | ||
nmod:unmarked(day, week) | ||
det(week, this) | ||
~~~ | ||
|
||
(ii) rate expressions with meaning equivalent to "per" | ||

**History:** Prior to release 2.15, case (i) (temporal modifiers) | ||
had a separate subtype called [nmod:tmod](), and [nmod:npmod]() | ||
was used for the non-temporal ones. |
