Dear Colleagues,<br><br>I would be grateful for references to any HPSG or LFG work (or in other frameworks, for that matter) on the topic of relating attributive adjectives (the red house) to predicate adjectives (The house is red.). <br>
<br>I'm interested in how this should be captured in a lexicalist grammar, e.g. a lexical rule deriving one from the other (in which case, which one is basic?), or lexical inheritance, templates, etc. Also, that account should allow for the simple fact that in languages with adjective agreement, the agreement features that apply to the modifiee of the attributive, normally apply to the subject of the predicative. E.g. if 'house' is feminine then 'red' would take feminine form whether attributive (the red house) or predicate (The house is red.) <br>
<br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>--Steve<br><br><br>
