Abstract:

In both Romance and English literature, relational adjectives have received
special attention due to their apparently idiosyncratic behaviour, as both
nouns and adjectives at the same time. Stepping away from the usual analyses
that concentrates generally on their noun-like properties, this pioneer work
explains their peculiar behaviour that has so far represented a challenge for
current morphological theories.  Mihaela Marchis Moreno takes an empirical
approach to their distribution, and the syntactic and semantic conditions that
govern their use. Drawing upon key findings from previous literature she
proposes a new model of how relational adjectives work both
cross-linguistically, and across the various interfaces of language.
   
   
1. Introduction; 2. What does morphology learn from relational adjectives?; 3.

adjectives; 7. Deverbal nominalizations; 8. Thematic adjectives and
nominalizations; 9. The syntax of classificatory adjectives; 10. Relational
