Adjective-Noun order<br> </font> </div> <br>
On (Standard Mandarin) Chinese:<br><br>Adjectives may appear after the noun (predicative function) or before the noun (modifying function). However, there is both a set of non-predicative adjectives, which thus may appear only before the noun, and a set of predicative-only adjectives, which thus may appear only after the noun. This is lexically determined.<br>If you want I can send you a paper on the topic.<br><br>Giorgio F.
