CP-ADV

When SEM introduces CP-ADV, there is no PP level above the CP-ADV. This is not exactly like the English corpora, PPCME2, PPCEME, etc. SEM simply occupied the C position of a CP-ADV, and the CP-ADV is immediately dominated by the phrase that it modifies, as in the following example:

( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (N-N Jóan-jóan))
	  (VBDI magnaðist-magna)
	  (ADVP-TMP (ADV síðan-síðan))
	  (, ,-,)
	  (CP-ADV (WADVP-2 0)
		  (C sem-sem)
		  (IP-SUB (ADVP *T*-2)
			  (NP-SBJ *exp*)
			  (NP-PRD (N-N von-von))
			  (BEDI var-vera)
			  (PP (P of-of)
			      (NP (D-A þann-sá)
				  (, ,-,)
				  (CP-REL (WNP-1 0)
					  (C ER-ER)
					  (IP-SUB (NP-OB1 *T*-1)
						  (NP-SBJ (D-N INN-HINN) (ADJ-N helgi-helgi) (N-N andi-andi))
						  (VBDI stýrði-stýra)))))))
	  (, ,-,)

When other subordinators introduce adverbial clauses, e.g. EF or ÞEGAR, the subordinator is tagged P, it projects a PP and takes a CP-ADV complement, as in the following examples:

                                       (PP (P þegar-þegar)
					      (CP-ADV (C 0)
						      (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ (NS-N skuggamyndir$-skuggamynd) (D $nar-hinn))
							      (BEPI eru-vera)
							      (IP-INF (TO að-að)
								      (VB þokast-þoka)
								      (PP (P undan-undan)
									  (NP (N-D sólarbirtu$-sólarbirta) (D $nni-hinn))))))))

( (IP-MAT (ADVP (ADV Nú-nú))
	  (PP (P þótt-þótt)
	      (CP-ADV (C 0)
		      (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ (NS-N menn-maður)
				      (CP-REL *ICH*-1))
			      (BEPS séu-vera)
			      (ADJP (ADJ VÆNIR-VÆNN))
			      (, ,-,)
			      (CP-REL-1 (WNP-2 0)
					(C sem-sem)
					(IP-SUB (NP-OB1 (N-A hlut-hlutur))
						(VBPI eiga-eiga)
						(PP (P að-að)
						    (NP (NS-D málum-mál))))))))
	  (, ,-,)
	  (MDPI má-mega)
	  (NP-SBJ-2 (PRO-N ÞAÐ-ÞAÐ))
	  (NP-PRD (Q-NSNSP margt-margur))
	  (VB verða-verða)
	  (PP (P í-í)
	      (NP (NS-D sveitarsökum-sveitarsök)))
	  (, ,-,)

When ER introduces an adverbial clause (these are usually temporal), the clause is parsed as a bare CP-ADV with ER in the C position. There is no introducing P in this case, nor any PP level. See also ER under Treatment of individual words.
