  3. ADJECTIVES AND THE AP PRACTICE CLASS #1 2012-02-28

  4. ADJECTIVE PHRASESgeneral characteristics • FUNCTION (syntactic function – their function in the sentence) • PARADIGM – adjectives can be compared INDEPENDENT FUNCTION = PREDICATIVE FUNCTION Adjective Phrase has an INDEPENDENT FUNCTION IN THE SENTENCE, i.e. it functions as s SENTENCE ELEMENT. Cs – subject complement: That painting is AP[very beautiful]. Co – object complement: He made his parents AP[proud]. The policeman kicked the door AP[open]. • DEPENDENT FUNCTION = ATTRIBUTIVE FUNCTION • Adjective Phrase is a PART OF ANOTHER PHRASE, i.e. a part of the NP, its function is to modify the meaning of the HEAD NOUN. • Typically, an attributive adjective follows the determiner and precedes the noun: NP[a AP[very beautiful] painting] or NP[an AP[expensive] gift] • However, in some cases the adjective follows the HEAD NOUN: • NP[somebody AP[important]] or NP[secretary AP[general]] An ADJECTIVE PHRASE is a phrase that has an ADJECTIVE as its HEAD.

  5. FORMS OF THE ADJECTIVE PHRASE • ADJECTIVE PHRASE is a phrase which has an adjective as its head, but it need not only contain the head. • TWO TYPES of complex adjective phrases: • APs with PREMODIFICATION: AP=Adj e.g. intelligent AP=Adv+Adj e.g. very intelligent AP=Adj+Adv e.g. intelligent enough, intelligentenough • APs with COMPLEMENTATION: AP=Adj+PP e.g. intelligent beyond your expectations AP=Adj+Clnon-fine.g. intelligent enough to quit that job AP=Adj+Clfin e.g. certain that he will succeed
