Abstract:
Previous studies have shown that speakers have robust adjective ordering preferences. For example, in English, big red apple is strongly preferred to red big apple. Recently, Scontras et al. (2017) showed that an adjective’s distance from the noun it modifies is best predicted by the adjective’s subjectivity, with less subjective adjectives preferred closer to the modified noun. However, this finding was limited to English. The current study investigates the status of subjectivity-based adjective ordering preference in Tagalog, a language that forms its modification structures with the conjunction-like LINKER particle. Using Tagalog translations of the original English materials, we show that subjectivity predicts ordering preferences in Tagalog, as it does in English.

Abstract:
A comparison of the error profiles of monolingual (child L1) learners of Dutch, Moroccan children (child L2) and Moroccan adults (adult L2) learning Dutch as their L2 shows that participants in all groups massively overgeneralize [—neuter] articles to [+neuter] contexts. In all groups, the reverse gender mistake infrequently occurs. Gender expressed by Dutch attributive adjectives reveals an age-related asymmetry between the three groups, however. Whereas participants in the child groups overgeneralize one particular suffix (namely the schwa), adult participants use both adjectival forms, the schwa-adjective and the bare adjective, incorrectly. It is argued that the asymmetry observed in adjectives reflects that adult learners exploit an input-based, lexical learning route, whereas children rely on grammar-based representations. The similarity in article selection between all groups follows from the assumption that adults, like children, make use of lexical frames. Crucially, lexical frames can successfully describe the distribution of gender-marked articles, but they cannot account for gender in adjectives.

Abstract This article discusses the syntax and semantics of the DS comparative in Chinese, which is an adjectival comparative in which the sequence gèng duō ‘even-more much’ occurs as the degree búyǔ complement clause of the matrix adjective. The element duō ‘much’ is a quantity-adjective that interacts with gèng ‘even-more’ to introduce an additional standard of comparison into the DS comparative in order to make the comparison denoted by the degree búyǔ complement clause possible.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to describe a class of sentences containing a noun in -ita, which are equivalent to an adjectival predicate. This set of sentences is of the form N0 W N1-ita (where -ita can be translated as one of the uses of être in French). Indeed, for this type of sentence: Léa-nín motín il-e (yôlsông + pulman)-ita Léa-Top everything-Pc (passion + discontent)-ita (Léa is (passionate about + discontented with) everything) we observe that N1-ita answers to the question ôtôha-(how), and not to nuku(who)/muôs(what). Further, N1-ita allows for an indication of intensity or comparison, but N1 can take no modifiers. This kind of predicate, with a human subject (noted Nsp-ita), shares some fundamental properties with an adjectival predicate. From this point of view, it is different from other types of N -ita predicates, such as: Max-nîn (haksäng + honsu-sangthä)-ita Max-Top (student + coma-state)-ita (Max is (a student + in a coma)) i congi-nîn (semo-k'ol + pola-säk)-ita this paper-Top (triangle-form + violet-color)-ita This paper is of (triangular form + violet color)) The fact that Nsp-ita (like SC-cok-ita) resembles the derived adjectives N1-hata or N1-sîlôpta puts into question the current definition of -ita: if -ita, in Nsp-ita, is analyzed as a particle attached to a noun, we would have no adjective in -ita, but only nouns. Under the hypothesis of a support term (here, the adjective supporting the predicative noun), we whould have only the adjective (ita). Finally, if we analyze this kind of -ita as an adjectival suffix, the data Nsp-ita and SC-côk-ita would all make up the entire corpus of adjectives. We underline the fact that this problem is not a simple question of terminology when one is trying to set up a corpus of adjectives for constructing a lexicon-grammar, even though the present study is limited to the classification and description of the nouns that make up the predicate Nsp-ita.

Abstract:
The variations of Madurese intensifying adjectives were investigated in this study. This qualitative study uses a questionnaire as the main instrument to know the intensifying adjectives used by the participants. The participants were asked to translate some sentences from Indonesian to Madurese based on their daily conversations. The participants are native Madurese speakers aged between 15-60 years. The study revealed that there were 28 variations of intensifying adjectives in Madurese which consist of 17 variations of quality level, 3 variations using a determiner before an adjective, 4 variations using a determiner after adjective, 9 variations using a determiner and suffix, and 1 variation using a confix. In the comparative level, it can be divided into equative, comparative, and superlative. There are 5 variations from a comparison of the equivalent level in Madurese, while in the comparative level only one variation is done, it is the addition of lebbi ... deri ..., and the superlative level found 5 variations in the intensity of adjectives.

Abstract:
There is still a great interest in the functional side of language phenomena in modern linguistics. The semantics of language units is closely related to a specific speech situation. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze both the context and the inter-compatibility of lexemes in order to describe the specifics of their meanings. The article aims to describe the features of combining the adjective kichizhek ‘small’ with nouns, and this aspect has not been previously studied separately in the Khakass linguistics. The adjective under investigation refers to diminutive adjectives. Diminutives are units characterized by the property of being smaller than the usual size for objects of this type. The diminutive adjective kichizhek ‘small’ is formed by the affix =zhakh from the adjective kichig, which in the “Khakass-Russian dictionary” is interpreted as: “1) small, small (in size); kichig aal small village; kichig tura small house; kеgeneem kichig dress [me] little; 2) small, small (growth); kichig synnyg (sӧӧktig) khys a small person; 3) younger, child, infant; young (by age); kichig oolgym [my] younger son; kichig tusta in childhood (in childhood); kichig naturalist young naturalist.” By analyzing the examples presented in the file, the following groups of combinations of the diminutive adjective kichizhek ‘small’ with nouns were identified: with the names of non-adult people, kinship names, anthroponyms, names of human body parts, living creatures (small size), objects (small), parts of objects, structures, places, parts of structures, parts of plants, natural objects (small size), substances (as grounds for comparisons). No combinations of this adjective with abstract names have been found. Thus, the diminutive combinations with adjective kichizhek ‘small’ have proved to be used more often to denote small objects of the nomination, with all objects being smaller than a man. The names of natural objects were used as a basis for comparison (a candle is compared with the sun, sparrows – with clouds).

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract In line with the traditional pronouncement that the weak (definite) forms of adjectives in Germanic follow the definite determiner, the Gothic weak-only adjective sama ‘the same’ (no indefinite form *sams, with the strong inflection -s, occurs) is determined (sa sama ‘the same’) in the majority of its attestations. However, contrary to the traditional description, occasionally it also occurs on its own, without a determiner. An examination of the syntactic distribution of the adjective and a comparison of the Gothic translation of the Bible with the Greek and Latin texts uncover a double semantic nature of sama. Specifically, when determined, sama conveys a definite/particularising force of ‘the same’. In the absence of the determiner, however, it conveys the semantic value of ‘one; of one kind’. The results of this investigation contribute to our understanding of the conditions that govern the distribution of strong vs. weak adjective inflections in early Germanic. In particular, they confirm the contention that the occurrence of the weak form of the adjective is not simply a matter of whether or not a definite determiner precedes it. Instead, the definite value of the adjective inflection is realised cumulatively (periphrastically), via the co-occurrence of the definite determiner and the weak adjective inflection.

Abstract:
A composite profile of “empathic individuals” was developed from adjectives checked on Gough and Heilbrun's Adjective Check List by 43 undergraduate students enrolled in a course on counseling. Individuals were nominated as empathic by the students who also completed the checklist. The composite profile was consistent with the Rogerian definition of empathy and Factor 3 (Sociability) of the check list. The profiles for the nominated sample and for the students did not differ significantly on 36 of the 37 scales but both differed significantly from the composite profile on 34 scales.

Abstract:
<p>There are mainly two ways of comparing adjectives in English: the analytic and the synthetic. The analytic way is to use more and most (for example difficult, more difficult, most difficult). The synthetic, or inflectional, way is to add the endings –er and –est (for instance fast, faster, fastest). During the last twelve centuries the way of forming comparisons in English has evolved from predominately synthetic to the point where both inflections and analytic forms are used. Today many adjectives are almost always compared either synthetically or analytically (e.g. fast and difficult respectively), but sometimes we have two alternatives; for example, we can choose between more polite and politer. The author has three aims with this paper: firstly, to examine how adjectives in English are compared today; secondly, to determine how well the descriptions in modern grammars agree with authentic written English; thirdly, to see whether there have been any recent changes in the way of indicating comparison. This is a quantitative study. A corpus investigation was undertaken: some one hundred common adjectives in two British newspapers, The Guardian and The Observer, from 1990–91 and 2005 that vary in their way of expressing comparison were studied. The results were compared with six grammars from the last five decades. After the data collection, the chi square test was applied, showing how statistically significant the changes between 1990–91 and 2005 are. Judging from the data in this study, the synthetic comparison seems to be becoming less common. The author also concludes that the comparison of adjectives in contemporary British English varies considerably.</p>

Abstract:
Despite the popularity of personality testing for personnel selection, criticisms have arisen regarding the potential for response distortions by applicants. Researchers have developed many techniques to control for such response distortions, including the use of different response formats. Using both a university sample of introductory psychology students and an applied sample of police officers during a promotional exam, the present study examined two bipolar adjective scaling methods (paired-comparison and semantic differential) to determine scaling effects on test taker reports of socially undesirable information on a self-report personality measure of conscientiousness. Results indicate that no differences exist in socially desirable responding based on the scaling method used to assess personality. In a follow-up study using college students, a semantic differential scale with six points was administered. Again, no differences were found. Internal consistency analyses comparing a 6-point semantic differential scale with a paired comparison scale indicated greater internal consistency for the semantic differential format.

Abstract:
The aim of the given thesis is to expound the problem of syntax processing by creating adjectival compounds in dictionary entries for the Large German-Czech Academic Dictionary. Assuming that exactly these words, which belong to the complicated vocabulary items, cause difficulties for foreign speakers with text comprehension and text production. It is based on the nature of German language, which makes many compounds, as opposed to in Czech language. Not only are the meanings of these words revealed to be problematic, but also their usage. The thesis is divided into two parts. The theoretical part deals with characteristics of adjectives as word class, and because each word always has its context, attention will be primarily focused on the adjectival valency. Previously, only the valency of verbs and substantives has been discussed. When a native speaker automatically knows these syntax structures and even when, in case of foreign language, there could exist structural similarities between the source and target language, the structures ought consequently to be given in the dictionary. In some mono- or bilingual dictionary the user should find complex informations for word searched. The practical part involves analysis of ten chosen adjective compounds, which shows how the valency structures are...

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Psicologia (área de especialização em Psicologia Clínica e da Saúde)<br>A Psicologia evolutiva tem sugerido que os sistemas de memória evoluíram ao longo do tempo esculpidos por pressões ambientais. Nairne, Thompson e Pandeirada (2007) forneceram suporte a esta abordagem ao encontrar um benefício mnésico no processamento de estímulos de acordo com a sua relevância para um cenário de sobrevivência ancestral - efeito do processamento baseado na sobrevivência (EPBS). Apresentamos dois estudos que pretendem explorar, recorrendo a adjetivos como estímulos, um dos possíveis mecanismos explicativos do EPBS – o efeito de congruência; e comparar o EPBS com o efeito de auto-referência. Globalmente os resultados revelam que o EPBS não é encontrado quando adjectivos são utilizados como estímulos. Não obtante da impossibilidade de descartar o efeito de congruência do debate acerca das bases do EPBS (Estudo 1), mostramos que o benefício mnésico promovido pelo processamento de sobrevivência se equipara ao conseguido pelo processamento auto-referente (Estudo 2). Considerações relevantes acerca do uso de adjectivos neste paradigma são discutidas, bem como possível papel do processamento auto-referente no EPBS.<br>Evolutionary psychologists have argued that human memory systems evolved throughout time sculpted by environmental pressures. Nairne Thompson & Pandeirada (2007) gave additional support to this approach, finding a mnemonic benefit on the encoding of stimuli regarding its relevance to an ancestral survival scenario – Survival Processing Effect (SPE). Here we present two studies that aim to explore one of the proximate mechanisms of SPE - congruity effect; and to compare the SPE with the Self-Reference encoding strategy. We also intend to extend the study of the SPE to the use of adjectives. Overall, results showed that SPE is not found when adjectives are used as to-beremembered stimuli. Notwithstanding the inability to discard of congruity effect as a basis for SPE (Study 1), we found that the mnemonic consequences of survival processing are equivalent to self-reference processing (Study 2). Important considerations about the use of adjectives in this paradigm are discussed, as well the role of self in SPE.

Abstract:
<p>The purpose with this essay is to investigate how Ernest Hemingway uses his style of writing in his short stories “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” and “Hills Like White Elephants”. The questions at issue are: What is characteristic of Hemingway's style when looking at the use of adjectives and sentence complexity? How is the Iceberg Technique used? What stylistic differences and similarities are there between the stories?</p><p>In my investigation I used a stylistic approach, in which adjectives are counted and sentence length is measured (creating mainly a quantitative analysis). The frequency of adjectives is calculated and compared against the norm in imaginative prose. Sentence length is compared against the norm for modern English. Previous research has provided a foundation for further analysis of the Iceberg Technique.</p><p>The analysis shows that the frequency of adjectives is very low compared with the norm and that many adjectives are used repeatedly. The sentences are very short, not even reaching half the length of the norm presented. Hemingway’s Iceberg Technique shows in the scarce use of dialogue tags and a plot that does not reveal much about the characters or the setting. The real plot is often hidden, leaving it to the reader to interpret and “feel” what the story is really about.</p><p>In conclusion: it may be said that both short stories are told in a minimalistic style, using only what is necessary to tell the story. They have a simple plot and simple characters, just like the Hemingway style we know.</p>

Abstract:
Most adjectives can be used attributively and predicatively. After a short introduction on these functions, it is investigated which other parts of speech can occupy the syntactic position of an attributively used adjective. The results of this lead to further explorations concerning the structure of the noun phrase. Not only bare adjectives are discussed, but also the degrees of comparison and other means of modifying the property expressed by an adjective. A particular adjectival construction is formed by adding –ki(n) to a noun case-marked for locative. In the final sections it is explained that not all adjectives are equal in Turkish; some adjectives can be used independently, that is, as a noun, but others cannot. Another type of adjective must take a complement, for it doesn't make sense without.

Abstract:
Besides adjectives proper, participles also function syntactically as adjectives. Adjectives used as predicate complements have an external argument which may raise to become the subject of a copula or the object of a transitive verb. Adjectives may take complements, although mostly they occur without one. A few adjectives take a nominal complement, but mostly the complement is a PP. The complement may also be an infinitival relative, which is the derivational basis of ‘tough’ constructions. An adjective may be preceded by a modifying degree phrase (DegP), expressing degree or comparison. The comparative and the superlative are expressed by modifiers ‘more’ and ‘most’, or by a suffix which is checked against an abstract degree element in DegP. DegP may be followed by a comparative phrase which is extraposed to the right of the adjective.

Abstract:
The sense of “good” that has been of principal interest to philosophers and that is the focus of chapters 3, 4, and 5 is evaluative “good.” Hereafter, the modifier “evaluative” is dropped. “Good” is a gradable adjective. Accordingly, chapter 3 examines the semantics of gradable adjectives. The chapter argues that “good” is the unmarked member of an antonym pair of relative gradable adjectives, the marked member being (evaluative) “bad.” The lexical meaning of “good” is associated with a non-significant degree on an open scale of unspecified value. In tokenings of sentences of the form “x is good,” the degree associated with “good” is modulated to a significant degree. Significance of degree is a quantity that exceeds the upper bound of a range of numeric values based on a contextually determined comparison class.

Abstract:
This paper aims to identify the attributes that describe aircraft interior noise, determine most important psychoacoustic models that characterize cabin sounds, and construct a prediction model that can be utilized for VIP and business jets to evaluate subjective perception. In the first part, paired comparison listening tests and free verbalization are conducted with expert subjects who experienced VIP and business aircraft flight. The study generated a list of adjective pairs that describe perception of cabin sounds to be used for semantic differential listening tests. Multi-dimensional scaling is performed on paired comparison data. Results showed that subjects’ decisions can be categorized in loudness and annoyance dimensions which are not necessarily linearly associated. The second part of the study is the development of a sound quality prediction model for aircraft cabin. Semantic differential tests are conducted with potential customers. Objective sound quality metrics are correlated to subjective test responses using principal components regression. This model is found to be most effective explaining pleasantness, comfort, and loudness perception. It is intended to be utilized to modify/redesign noise control treatments and sound signature of an aircraft. All listening tests were conducted inside an aircraft cabin simulator considering the influence of visual content.

Abstract:
The article examines a stamp on a tile of Bosporus, which was found in 1955 at Phanagoria. The stamp with a legend «ΙΔΙΩΤΙΚΗ» comes from the pavement № 359 at the exavation «North Town». Comcomitant material from the exavation complex allows to define this stamp not earlier than IΙΙ century B. C. The same date is confirmed by the paleographic particularity of the stamp. The comparison of this stamp with other tiles of Bosporus indicates its proximity to the stamps with legend ΒΑΣΙΛΙΚΗ (IosPE III № 1370–1637) and allows us to conclude that they were manufactured by the same stamp-graver. Literature analysis leads us to conclusion that the adjectives βασιλική and ’ιδιωτική written on the stamps define different types of Royal property at the Bosporus. The tiles were produced for the government order and in case of ΙΔΙΩΤΙΚΗ legend (due to small number of stamps) was made obviously for a definite building

Abstract:
The article analyzes transformation of forms of degrees of comparison of adjectives in live television broadcasting. Particular attention is paid to the specific properties of different forms of degrees of comparison of adjectives. To analyze the peculiarities of their use for errors in speech of television journalists, associated with non-compliance with linguistic norms on ways to avoid these errors, to make appropriate recommendations to television journalists. The main method we use is to observe the speech of live TV journalist, we used during the study methods of comparative analysis of comparison of theoretical positions from the work of individual linguists and journalism sat down as well as texts that sounded in the speech of journalists. Our objective is to trace these transformations and develop a certain attitude towards them in our researches of the language of the media and practicing journalists to support positive trends in the development of the broadcasting on TV and give recommendations for overcoming certain negative trends. Improving the live broadcasting of television journalists, in particular the work on deepening the language skills will contribute to the modernization of some trends in the reasonable expediency of the transformation of certain phenomena, moder­nization of some tendencies concerning the reasonable expedient transformation of separate grammatical phenomena and categories and at braking and in general stopping of processes of transformation of negative unreasonable not expedient. This fully applies primarily to attempts to transform the forms of degrees of comparison of adjectives and this explains importance of the results achieved in these study.
