27.0. Introduction
quickinfo
This chapter discusses attributively used (henceforth: attributive) adjectives. Section 27.1 begins with a comprehensive discussion of their inflection. Section 27.2 shows that attributive adjectives are usually placed between the determiner and the head noun; it also discusses their placement relative to some other elements in the prenominal field. Section 27.3 continues by showing that the placement of certain complex attributive APs is more flexible than that of less complex ones. Section 27.4 discusses N-ellipsis, i.e. cases in which the attributive adjective is not accompanied by a phonetically realized noun. Section 27.5 concludes with a discussion of the syntax of co-occurring adjectives.
