Preliminary Recommendations

Use

This is an attribute introduced by MULTILEX among the syntactic specifications, to specify how an adjective can be used:

• attributive: the adjective modifies a noun inside an NP.
• predicative: the adjective can be used as a subject complement of a copular verb, as an object complement or as a secondary predicate.
• adverbial: the adjective modifies a verb or a VP.
• nominalised: the adjective can be used attributively in an NP without head (Dutch-dependent). The value here is not to intended to specify whether a noun can be derived from an adjective.

In the EAGLES rows only the first two are proposed in the common core, Level 2a: they are marked in German and in Dutch.
