Abstract
Abstract. In this paper I discuss possible structural analyses of attributive adjectives. I agrue that attributive adjectives should be given the same basic structure as predicative adjectives. Attributive adjectives are analysed as lexical heads, taking the noun as its right hand specifier. I show that this analysis, the SpecA‐analysis, can account for a wide range of data concerning attributive adjectives. The paper addresses questions such as adjectival agreement, independently used adjectives, blocking effects caused by ajectives, head‐movement of adjectives, and binding relations within the adjectival phrase.
