This study investigates three different postmodifying adjective constructions
in the English language. While English adjectives generally precede the enti¬
ties they modify, they may also occur in postmodifying position. This study
assumes that the different postmodifying constructions are a positional vari¬
ation of attributive premodification. The support for this claim is derived from
a detailed analysis of the general syntax and semantics of adjectives as well
as a cross-check of previous theories with a wide range of actual language
examples taken from computerized corpora. An approach from the Prague
School 'Functional Sentence Perspective' enables this study to accomplish an
integrated view of adjectival
postmodification.
