Adverbial attachment conventions. In (a), the lexicalised version of the Stanford parser attaches the adverb (RB) "constitutively" via an adverbial phrase (ADVP) to its parent verb phrase (VP). In (b), the unlexicalised Stanford parser skips this step and attaches the adverb directly to the verb phrase. These two representations are semantically equivalent.
