<h1> Adjective: Adjectives and Adjectival Phrases</h1>
<pre>
abstract Adjective = Cat ** {
fun
</pre>
The principal ways of forming an adjectival phrase are
positive, comparative, relational, reflexive-relational, and
elliptic-relational.
<pre>
PositA : A -> AP ; -- warm
ComparA : A -> NP -> AP ; -- warmer than I
ComplA2 : A2 -> NP -> AP ; -- married to her
ReflA2 : A2 -> AP ; -- married to itself
UseA2 : A2 -> AP ; -- married
UseComparA : A -> AP ; -- warmer
CAdvAP : CAdv -> AP -> NP -> AP ; -- as cool as John
</pre>
The superlative use is covered in <tt>Ord</tt>.
<pre>
AdjOrd : Ord -> AP ; -- warmest
</pre>
Sentence and question complements defined for all adjectival
phrases, although the semantics is only clear for some adjectives.
<pre>
SentAP : AP -> SC -> AP ; -- good that she is here
</pre>
An adjectival phrase can be modified by an <b>adadjective</b>, such as <i>very</i>.
<pre>
AdAP : AdA -> AP -> AP ; -- very warm
</pre>
It can also be postmodified by an adverb, typically a prepositional phrase.
<pre>
AdvAP : AP -> Adv -> AP ; -- warm by nature
</pre>
The formation of adverbs from adjectives (e.g. <i>quickly</i>) is covered
in [Adverb Adverb.html]; the same concerns adadjectives (e.g. <i>extremely</i>).
