[Lingtyp] nouns and adjectives

[Christian Lehmann]

High Adam,

I found this particularly useful:

Lehmann, Christian 2018, “Adjective and attribution - Category and 
operation”. Baumann, Carolin & Dabóczi, Viktória & Hartlmaier, Sarah 
(eds.), /Adjektive – Grammatik, Pragmatik, Erwerb./ Berlin etc.: W. de 
Gruyter (Reihe Germanistische Linguistik, 313); 13-76.

Best, Christian
