The Spanish EUROTRA dictionaries include semantic typing at the syntactic level in order to deal with several phenomena related to the attachment of modifiers. The feature used and its values are as follows:

vadv = time, manner, deg(ree), loc(ation), free, manconcret.

Also, in relation to overgeneration in attachment, some features control the attachment of adverbs in order to prevent sentences as in:

*``Todo terminó desgraciadamente' (`Everything finished unfortunately')
  ``Desgraciadamente aquello era verdad'' (`Unfortunately, that was true')
