Eckhard Bick - VISL

(5b) fits fairly well into the (A) group, apart from the fact that there is a kind of
semantically motivated valency relation with another premodifier, a numeral, whereas
the other set operators more clearly modify the NP as a whole, and therefore, in
dependency notation, its head. However, the adverbial adject link is not as strong as that
of 'ao=menos' in 'ao=menos @>A dois @>N livros @NPHR', and I therefore use the
same syntactic tag as in the other set operator adverbs, i.e. @>N.
(5a) is somewhat different, with the set operator candidate in the unusual postnominal
position. Only very few other adverbs can be classified as "post-adverbs",
among them the numeral independent 'demais' (too much, too many), or the deictic 'aí'
(este rapaz aí - this young lad here). In spite of the positional anomaly, I prefer to
explicitly tag for the NP-dependency: @N compra
@FMV livros @A caros @N
