16.3. Postmodification
quickinfo

This section discusses the postmodification of nouns. Postmodifiers of nouns usually take the form of an adpositional phrase or a clause. Adpositional postmodifiers are discussed in Section 16.3.1. Clausal postmodifiers come in various forms, but most often take the form of a finite relative clause or an infinitival construction, which will be discussed in Sections 16.3.2 and 16.3.3, respectively. Section 16.3.4 discusses a special case of postmodification involving restrictive postmodifiers of content nouns, which can be seen as the counterpart of the complement clauses of these nouns discussed in Section 15.3. Sections 16.3.5 and 16.3.6 conclude with a discussion of the use of adjectival and adverbial phrases as postmodifiers.
