In both Romance and English literature, relational adjectives have
received special attention due to their apparently idiosyncratic
behaviour, as both nouns and adjectives at the same time. Stepping
away from the usual analyses that concentrates generally on their
noun-like properties, this pioneer work explains their peculiar
behaviour that has so far represented a challenge for current
morphological theories. Mihaela Marchis Moreno takes an empirical
approach to their distribution, and the syntactic and semantic
conditions that govern their use. Drawing upon key findings from
previous literature she proposes a new model of how relational
adjectives work both cross-linguistically, and across the various
interfaces of language.
