Nouns as Adjectives and Adjectives as Nouns
Many languages have morphological devices to turn a noun into an adjective. Often this morphology is genuinely derivational in that it adds a semantic predicate such as ‘havingN’ (proprietive), ‘lacking-N’ (caritive’), ‘similar-to-N’ (similitudinal) and so on. In other cases the denominal adjective expresses some vaguely defined notion of possession as in Russian Ivan-ovo (detstvo) ‘Ivan’s (chi...
متن کاملSize Adjectives as Degree Modifiers
Although the traditional focus of research into degree modification has been the adjectival extended projection, it has long been recognized that degree modification or something quite like it is possible in other categories as well (Bolinger 1972, Abney 1987, Deutjes 1997, Kennedy and McNally 2004, a.o.). The conditions under which it is possible, though, and mechanisms that bring it about rem...
متن کاملConceptualizing Adjectives Conceptualizing Adjectives Conceptualizing Adjectives
We specify a model for the conceptual interpretation of relative adjectives (like \big"), which covers a crucial aspect of the underlying comprehension process { the comparison to a norm that is associated with a comparison class. Building on an elaborate domain ontology and knowledge about intercorrelations, comparison classes are dynamically created depending on the context in which adjectiva...
متن کاملAdjectives as Indicators of Subjectivity in Documents
The goal of this research is to automatically predict human judgments of document qualities such as subjectivity, verbosity and depth. In this paper, we explore the behavior of adjectives as indicators of subjectivity in documents. Specifically, we test whether a subset of automatically derived subjective adjectives (Wiebe, 2000b), selected a priori, behaves differently than other adjectives. 3...
متن کاملAdjectives as Saturators vs. Modifiers: Statistical Evidence
This paper reports on a large-scale, statistical analysis of corpus data to support the null hypothesis that ethnic adjectives (EAs, e.g. French) are ordinary adjectives, rather than argument-saturating “nouns in disguise” (in, e.g., French agreement). In particular, EAs are argued to simply modify the noun they combine with, so that their special properties in inducing argument-like behavior a...
