The Adjectives


Problems to be discussed:

  • the characteristic features of the adjectives as a part of speech

  • the types of adjectives

  • the grammatical category of degrees of comparison

  • the means of formation of the degrees of comparison of adjectives

  • substantivization of adjective Pronouns

  • general characteristics of this class of words

  • the difference between pronouns and other parts of speech

  • the personal pronouns

  • the possessive pronouns

  • the reflexive pronouns

The characteristic features of the adjective as a part of speech are as follows:



    1. their lexical-grammatical meaning of attributes or we may say that they express property of things

/persons/;

    1. from the morphological view point they have the category of degrees of comparison;

    2. from the point of view of their combinality they combine with nouns, as it has already been stated above, they express the properties of things. The words that express things we call nouns. It seems to be important to differentiate the combinability of a word with other words and reference of a word of a part of speech to another part of speech. We put this because adjectives modify nouns but they can combine with adverbs, link verbs and the word “one”:

a white horse. The horse is white.
The sun rose red. The sun rose extremely red.

    1. the stem-building affixes are: -ful, -less, -ish, -ous, -ive, -ir, un-, -pre-, in-...;

    2. their syntactic functions are: attribute and predicative

It is important to point out that in the function of an attribute the adjectives are in most cases used in pre-position; in post- position they are very seldom: time immemorial; chance to come.
The category of comparison of adjectives shows the absolute or relative quality of a substance.
