In general, we attach post-clausal modifiers at the VP node, as you
typically get scope ambiguity effects with negation (John didn't leave today - did he leave or not?). However, with post-sentential,
comma-separated adverbs, there is no ambiguity - in John didn't leave, today he definitely did not leave. Since this tree is only
selected by a subset of the adverbs (namely, those which can appear
pre-sententially, without a punctuation mark), it is anchored by the
adverb.
