Abstract:

This monographs investigates into the influence of the individual-/stage-level
distinction (IL/SL) on order restrictions of multiple prenominal adjectives
(AORs). It rejects the restriction regularly postulated—across different
research frameworks—that SL-adjectives are being realized farther from the
head noun than IL-adjectives, relegating the alleged constraint to an
epiphenomenon of more general principles. While formal-theoretic hypotheses on
AORs are formulated and put to the test empirically via a large corpus as well
as two rating studies, the book also addresses adjective classification,
modification patterns, and the IL-SL-debate in general. The preferred
prenominal positions of typical SL-adjectives are argued to follow from their
nature as absolute-gradable adjectives as well as from the distinction between
object- and kind-modification. The empirical studies corroborate these
considerations. The book critically discusses and opposes several
well-established hypotheses on AORs, sketches a flexible and parsimonious
syntax of adjectival modification, and will be of interest to syntacticians
and semanticists working on DP-structure, the IL-SL-debate, and adjectival
modification
