Abstract:

Abstract This article aims to give a cognitive linguistic account of the dual nature of the concept of relative adjectives, and the specific character of their semantic processes. After a brief discussion of the adjectival character of the relative subclass, it will be argued that denominal relative adjectives belong to the class of predicate words (i.e., words denoting property and hence forming a predicate concept), while retaining, on the other hand, the substantive nature of the basic noun’s concept. Further, two subclasses of relative adjectives are contrasted in view of their cognitive p

Abstract:

An adjectival construction is evaluative if and only if it conveys that the property associated with the adjective exceeds a relevant threshold. The questions of which adjectival constructions are evaluative and why have formed the foundation for semantic theories of these constructions and of adjectives themselves (Klein 1980, von Stechow 1984), although it has been alleged that these theories are based on an incomplete picture of the phenomenon of evaluativity (Bierwisch 1989, Rett 2008a). We present the first experimental tests of the scope and nature of evaluativity across adjectival const

Abstract:

In the modern Ukrainian language the transition of relative adjectives to qualitative ones is one of productive ways of semantic enrichment and expansion of adjective’s functional capabilities. In a fiction text relatively qualitative adjectives are used as metaphorical epithets. So the aim of the research is to review how relatively qualitative adjectives participate in creating epithets in the Ukrainian classical literature, find out the peculiarities of their functioning in Mykhailo Stelmakh’s prose texts.The source base of the research is formed with 5 Mykhailo Stelmakh’s prose texts: "Fou

Abstract:

Although linguistic research has often focused on one domain (e.g., as influenced by generative prioritization of the Autonomy of Syntax), critical findings have been uncovered by exploring the interaction of multiple domains (e.g., the link between morphological status and lateralization of /ɾ/; the syntactic–pragmatic interface’s constraints on subject expression). The position of adjectives relative to the nouns they modify is a good test case in this discussion because multiple areas of the grammar are implicated, including syntax, phonology, and semantics.

When referring to objects, speakers are often more specific than necessary for the purpose of establishing unique reference, e.g., by producing redundant modifiers.

Here we investigate one hypothesis about the source of the assumed adjectival noise: that it reflects the perceptual difficulty of establishing whether the property denoted by the adjective

The paper explores the role prosody plays in distinguishing two types of uses of adjectival structures in English and Slovene. In both languages, adjectival structures can be used with an internal standard, yielding an absolute interpretation, or with an external standard (typically comparing the nominal referent to other members of the same category), giving rise to a relative interpretation. It is shown that, in the base degree, a focus on the adjective provides disambiguation by making it clear that the construction is an instance of absolute use. In the comparative and superlative degrees,

Abstract:

The article examines the basic properties of adjectives as an independent class of words on the basis of various theoretical positions existing in the linguistic literature, and interprets key linguistic terms and concepts. The research emphasizes that the analysis of adjectives as a distinct part of speech can be conducted based on different criteria, including semantics, key morphological features, syntactical considerations, and word-formation peculiarities. So, this article delves into the historical, semantic, and grammatical aspects of adjectives, particularly within the context of the G

Adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun. It describes, identifies or gives further information about a noun. In this case, the writer analyzes the novel named Another Piece of My Heart by Jane Green because it contains a lot of adjective clauses and gives the contribution for teaching grammar. This study aimed to find out the kinds adjective clauses in the novel, the dominant adjective clauses in the novel and the contributions of adjective clauses to the English grammar teaching.

Abstract:

To correctly interpret a message, people must attend to the context in which it was produced. Here we investigate how this process, known as pragmatic reasoning, is guided by two universal forces in human communication: incrementality and efficiency, with speakers of all languages interpreting language incrementally and making the most efficient use of the incoming information. Crucially, however, the interplay between these two forces results in speakers of different languages having different pragmatic information available at each point in processing, including inferences about speaker inte

Abstract:

Middle English was a period of transition between the free word order of Old English, with functional variation of adjective form and position with respect to the head noun, and the fixed prenominal placement of single attributive adjectives in Modern English. Aided by the PPCME2 of the Penn-Helsinki corpora, this corpus-driven study explores the range of adjectives attested frequently after the head noun, as well as their relative attraction to the position and, sampling the ME period with emphasis on variables in the corpus metadata, compares the frequencies of postnominally placed adjective

Objectives: Spanish and English contrast in adjective–noun word order: for example, brown dress (English) vs. vestido marrón (‘dress brown’, Spanish). According to the Matrix Language model ( MLF) word order in code-switched sentences must be compatible with the word order of the matrix language, but working within the minimalist program (MP), Cantone and MacSwan arrived at the descriptive generalization that the position of the noun phrase relative to the adjective is determined by the adjective’s language. Our aim is to evaluate the predictions derived from these two models regarding adjecti

Abstract:

While for relative gradable adjectives the value on the underlying measurement scale that serves as a standard of comparison is contextually determined, for absolute gradable adjectives this is typically taken to be a fixed, context-invariant value (Rotstein & Winter 2004; Kennedy & McNally 2005). The present study investigates how lexical-semantic factors, such as the type of standard of comparison invoked by gradable adjectives, affect the incremental computation of scalar implicatures triggered by such adjectives. Our study shows that the incremental computation of scalar implicatur

This article provides an overview of the semantics of adjectives and the grammatical mechanisms by which the adjectives are modulated. The division into relative and qualitative, into simple and complex, performs the function of an attribute or predicate in a sentence. But along with this, the distinctive features of the adjective in the Kazakh language, because of the agglutinative structure, arouse interest to their study. Perhaps the most informative window into this domain is to deeply study adjectives' syntax function, morphological features, and declension by cases, and comparison proble

Summary: Semantic literature has described the entailments that comparatives have with respect to different scale structures found in relative and absolute adjectives. This paper aims at analyzing the implicative features that comparatives have when they are preceded by certain focal particles. The main hypothesis is that besides još (i), whose implicative features have been already described in the current literature, there are other particles in two languages which can generate additional implications and attribute the property expressed by an adjective to both entities being compared (prima

AbstractAdjective order restrictions on attributive adjectives (AORs) have been subject to debate in modern linguistic research for a long time. Most generally, the question whether AORs can be located in grammar as such in rule-based fashion is still unsettled. In the current paper, we largely argue against this view and claim that several of the core data to be explained are preferences based on norms rather than rules. A pragmatic explanation is offered to account for marked or apparently ungrammatical examples. First, we demarcate AORs in the narrow sense against data based on truth-condit

We attempt to consider Russian phraseological units with the components “eyes” and “animal”, with the help of which a person is compared with a positive or negative image of domestic or wild animals. We establish that zoonymic adjectives act as a means of interpreting phraseological units, mainly such characteristics of a person’s appearance as facial features and facial ex-pressions are interpreted. We prove that the composition of phraseological units with the “eye” component for the most part contains a comparison of a person with domestic animals, which is reflected in a relative adjective
