As it is assumed that NPs are inside DPs, APs and PPs occurring inside NPs as modifiers may be conceived of as adjuncts inside DPs. However, these modifying elements are always inside the NP, they never modify pronouns. Some adverbs, on the other hand may be argued to be actual adjuncts of the functional nominal projection and not the lexical one, as they appear preceding a D head, e.g. only, almost.
