================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hello all, 

A quick word to ask whether anyone knew about recent research on adjectives
in postnominal position, such as ''all things supernatural/fluffy'', ''a
thing possessed'', etc.? ''Monster'' grammars such as Quirk et al. or
Huddleston & Pullum are less than explicit on the subject. 

Thanks,
Labrador
