An Adjective Phrase (AP) may occur within a Noun Phrase (NP) as a modifier of that NP.
readmore
APs immediately precede the noun, though they may sometimes be found following the noun:
Example 1
| a. | In flugge brune foks | ||||||||||||||
| a quick brown fox | |||||||||||||||
| A quick brown fox | |||||||||||||||
| b. | In foks, fluch, brún | ||||||||||||||
| a fox quick brown | |||||||||||||||
| A fox, quick, brown | |||||||||||||||
The contrast makes it clear that preceding adjectives agree with the noun, as is exemplified by the schwa in the first example spelled as -e, whereas following adjectives do not. The number of APs preceding or following the noun is not syntactically limited.
