udver: '2'

This relation is a subtype of the [nmod]() relation, which captures
the following cases where something syntactically a noun phrase is
used as an adverbial modifier in a sentence:
**DEPRECATED: English corpora are transitioning to using the
new [nmod:unmarked]() relation instead.**

This relation is a subtype of the [nmod]() relation, used when
a prepositionless, non-possessive nominal serves as a modifier
within a larger nominal. For example:

(i) a measure phrase, which is the relation between the head of an adjectival/adverbial or prepositional phrase and the head of a measure phrase modifying it:
(i) rate expressions with meaning equivalent to "per"

~~~ sdparse
The director is 65 years old
nmod:npmod(old, years)
IBM earned $ 5 a share
nmod:npmod($, share)
~~~

(ii) elementary properties

~~~ sdparse
6 feet long
nmod:npmod(long, feet)
I want that color kitten
nmod:npmod(kitten, color)
~~~


(ii) noun phrases giving an extent to a verb, which are not objects:

~~~ sdparse
Shares eased a fraction
nmod:npmod(eased, fraction)
a pizza the size of the sun
nmod:npmod(pizza, size)
~~~


(iii) financial constructions involving an adverbial, notably the following construction *$5 a share*, where the second nominal means "per share":
(iii) emphatic reflexive pronouns

~~~ sdparse
IBM earned $ 5 a share
nmod:npmod($, share)
Einstein himself was in attendance.
nmod:npmod(Einstein, himself)
~~~


(iv) floating reflexives
(iv) "a couple" as pre-head quantifier

~~~ sdparse
The silence is itself significant
nmod:npmod(significant, itself)
You can have a couple/NOUN cookies.
det(couple, a)
nmod:npmod(cookies, couple)
~~~

and (v) certain other absolutive nominal constructions.

A temporal modifier [nmod:tmod]() is a subclass of npmod which is
distinguished as a separate relation.
