adjective

• where the adjective

  First, such an "origin" can scarcely take any form other than one where the adjective is a predicative element following a form of the verb be.

• adverbal adjective

  Apart from these change-of-state verbs, are there any others which could allow an adverbal adjective to appear?

• attributive adjective

  They differ in the relation which binds the adjective into the phrase, and in this respect postnominal attributive adjectives are close to the attributive relative clauses.

• adjective property

  Here, the fact that the adjective property is applicable to the object entity in a whole construction like (22) is intimately connected with the lexical meaning of the verb, and will thereby be understood to be applicable to the entity of the object even when that is considered in isolation.

• adjective is used

  It is true that when the adjective is used in attributive position there is no syntactic or morphological difference to reflect the two possibilities.

• adjective and noun

  To answer the initial question first, it is certainly true that for ascriptive adjectives at least, with adjective and noun held constant, alternation between qualification and assignment can produce no difference in either the entity identified or the pattern of assignment of properties.

• adjective rather

  Curiously enough, it appears that there is no question at all which fits the adjective of a sentence like (59) closely, so that one must fall back on a metalinguistic one such as(60):(59) the sharks remain dangerous (60) what did you say about the sharks? 5.7 Since the property of the postverbal is one which the speaker deliberately chooses to clothe in the guise of an adjective rather than an adverb, it must, as we have already remarked, be one which is capable of being ascribed to the referential locus of the subject phrase.

• when the adjective

  It is true that when the adjective is used in attributive position there is no syntactic or morphological difference to reflect the two possibilities.
