advcl: adverbial clause modifier
The adverbial clause modifier is a clause which modifies a predicate; in other words, it is a clausal adjunct. This includes subordinate clauses such as conditional clauses (2), temporal clauses (3), as well as purpose clauses (4), among others. The head is the main predicate of the main clause, while the dependent is the main predicate of the modifying clause.
If the adverbial is non-clausal, use advmod instead.
