advcl vs. xcomp in clauses with "chun" #164

@kscanne

Description

@kscanne

In sentences like sent_id = 952, "chun" is used in the usual way to mean "in order to":
"...ionas nach mbeidh air fanacht rófhada chun stampa amháin a cheannach."

"cheannach" here links back to "fanacht" as xcomp, but the UD guidelines say that xcomp should be used only for a core argument of the verb. The "chun" clauses I've looked at appear to me to be adjuncts, in which case advcl would be the right choice.

I'd be happy to review these and make the change, but just want a sanity check that I'm interpreting the guidelines (and the syntax) correctly!

Background is I'm looking at how to produce constituency trees and these adjunct/complement choices are important.
