Annotating Nominal Modifiers, Oblique Nominals, and Adverbial Clauses
Both nominal modifiers
(nmod, nmod:poss) and oblique
nominals (obl) can be
annotated as part of the argument structure of their head, as core or non-core
arguments:

If they are not part of the argument structure, they should be annotated just
like non-core arguments – or, as it were, as non-core arguments, because we
do not attempt to dinstiguish between the two cases. The same goes for
adverbial clauses
(advcl):
