<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Randy. I purposely said "adjacent' (head-adjacent), thinking that there could be a mirror-image case where only the immediately preceding modifier is unmarked, but it seems you have the opposite situation in Mandarin.<div>Of course there are cases where a noun and a modifier take on the same phonological properties as compounds, which I guess could affect things.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Aug 19, 2023 at 6:26 PM Randy LaPolla <<a href="mailto:randy.lapolla@gmail.com">randy.lapolla@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Hi Larry,<div>This might have to do with the post-nominal nature of the modifiers and how we process complex structures.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In Bantu languages a common situation is that only a subset
of (postposed) adnominal modifiers phrase with the head noun, e.g. possessive
pronouns and nouns. In the Tiania dialect of Central Kenya Bantu language Kimeru,
all immediate adnominal modifiers phrase with the head noun except
demonstratives and some quantifiers (which makes sense). However, in cases of
multiple postposed modifiers, there is a superhigh boundary tone (S%) separating
each modifier (see especially (34) below). S is marked with the double acute
accent mark ̋ , </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I am wondering if this is only a phonological phrase phenomenon
or whether anyone knows of a language where non-adjacent adnominal modifiers have special
(segmental) morphological marking? Importantly, the morphology shows that the second, third etc. modifiers are not appositional (*books three, new ones’). Applying an analogy to the verb
phrase, I think of them as “oblique”, e.g. ‘books three of new’, but there is
no morphological evidence of this, only the S% boundary tone that is used in
other contexts to mark the end of a phonological phrase, e.g. o-ko-or-er-a mó-re̋mi
% me-bukɔ ‘we have just bought the farmer % bags’.</p>

us. In the case of quantifiers, they generally come last, whether they agree
with the noun or not. It seems reasonable, therefore, for them to be phrased
separately. Here again from (10a) is the summary table of modifier combinations
in the noun phrase.</p>
