advcl: adverbial clause modifier
An adverbial clause modifier is a clause which modifies a verb or other predicate (adjective, etc.), as a modifier not as a core complement. This includes things such as a temporal clause, consequence, conditional clause, purpose clause, etc. The dependent must be clausal (or else it is an advmod) and the dependent is the main predicate of the clause.
Note that we treat the conditional clauses specially and mark then with a subtype: advcl:cond.
Turkish adverbial clauses are mainly formed by a set of converbial suffixes.
Ali gelince sevindi . \n He\/she became happy when Ali arrived
advcl(sevindi, gelince)
Okurken uyuyakalmışım . \n I fell asleep while reading
advcl(uyuyakalmışım, Okurken)
The subordinator ki and a few other subordinating words may also form adverbial clauses.
Bu kitabı sen de okursun diye aldım \n I bought this book so that you would read it too
advcl(aldım, okursun)
mark(okursun, diye)
Bu kitabı aldım ki sen de okuyasın \n I bought this book so that you would read it too
advcl(aldım, okuyasın)
mark(okuyasın, ki)
Bu kitabı okudun mu herşeyi anlayacaksın \n You will understand everything once you have read this book
advcl(anlayacaksın, okudun)
mark(okudun, mu)
A large number of adverbials and adverbial clauses are formed by postpositions attached to nouns or noun clauses.
We do not mark these as adverbial (advmod or advcl).
For both cases we use nmod (see discussion of subordination
in tr-overview/specific-syntax).
