- The words in a noun phrase must come in a particular order:
- determiner: articles, quantifiers, possessives, demonstratives
- adjectives and participles (maybe with intensifiers): beautiful, really new, somewhat boring
- noun modifiers (materials and for compound nouns): stone wall, English class, bookstore
- HEAD NOUN (what is the whole phrase about): wall, class, store
- modifying clauses and phrases (prepositional phrases): on the corner, in the mall, who you met
- ---
- The words always come in this order, but some words can be either adjectives or nouns:
- orange bowl = adjective + noun = a bowl that is orange colored
- orange bowl = noun + noun = a bowl for holding oranges
- English teacher = adjective + noun = a teacher from England
- English teacher = noun + noun = a teacher of the English language
- In compound nouns, the first word has higher stress and intonation, and each word after that is lower.
- With adjective + noun, the stress is more even.
