In Mandarin Chinese, where modifiers are pre-nominal, the opposite pattern is shown: generally only the modifier closest the head gets special marking, while the other modifiers are prosodically grouped together for easier processing and to some extent also due to rhythmic constraints in Chinese.<br><br><div dir="ltr">Hope this helps.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">All the best,</div><div dir="ltr">Randy</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Aug 19, 2023, at 1:56 PM, Larry M Hyman <hyman@berkeley.edu> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I have a question whether anyone knows of a case where all

<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>
