On the nature of prenumeral adjectives
Abstract
Following Greenberg’s generalization 20 prenominal adjectives follow numerals. In
this paper we discuss a group of adjectives that appear in unexpected positions: adjectives
preceding numerals prenominally. We argue that these adjectives violate cross-linguistic
generalizations only apparently, as the noun phrases with such adjectives actually contain
additional covert structure – structure that is not realized phonologically/phonetically.
