<strong><a href="/glossary#attributive-adjective">Definition of Attributive Adjective</a></strong><br>
<!--An attributive adjective is a word that modifies the noun internal to the
noun phrase by qualifying  or restricting its reference. We exclude cases where the adjective is a predicate adjective in a relative clause modifying the noun (e.g., “the man who is bigâ€). We also exclude words that fall under the database definitions of numerals, emonstratives, quantifiers, possessors and other distinct classes of nominal modifiers. Typical adjectives include: "young", "old", "new", and “goodâ€.<br>--><br>

<strong>NA (Not Applicable):</strong> NA for this property means that the language does not
