This monographs investigates into the influence of the
individual-/stage-level distinction (IL/SL) on order restrictions
of multiple prenominal adjectives (AORs). It rejects the
restriction regularly postulated-across different research
frameworks-that SL-adjectives are being realized farther from the
head noun than IL-adjectives, relegating the alleged constraint to
an epiphenomenon of more general principles. While formal-theoretic
hypotheses on AORs are formulated and put to the test empirically
via a large corpus as well as two rating studies, the book also
addresses adjective classification, modification patterns, and the
IL-SL-debate in general. The preferred prenominal positions of
typical SL-adjectives are argued to follow from their nature as
absolute-gradable adjectives as well as from the distinction
between object- and kind-modification. The empirical studies
corroborate these considerations. The book critically discusses and
opposes several well-established hypotheses on AORs, sketches a
flexible and parsimonious syntax of adjectival modification, and
will be of interest to syntacticians and semanticists working on
DP-structure, the IL-SL-debate, and adjectival modification
