<font face="PrimaSans BT,Verdana,sans-serif">Hi all,<br><br>I'm interested in examples of languages which have lexically-determined exceptions to a general adjective placement rule. A very well-documented example is French, in which adjectives are generally post-nominal but a (small) lexically-determined set can be pre-nominal. Do you know of other examples?<br>
<br>I'm also interested in whether anyone knows of any typological work which might suggest whether this kind of variation is more common for adjectives compared to numerals (or vice versa). I know of cases in which the placement of the numerals one and/or two differ from other numerals, but I don't have a sense for how common that is.<br>
<br>Thanks in advance for your help!<br><br>Jennifer Culbertson<br>Assistant Professor<br>Linguistics Program<br>George Mason University</font>
