Abstract
This paper is concerned with the syntactic-semantic relationships that hold between the modifying phrase and the modified noun within a modified nominal construction. I shall not attempt an analysis of the various structural patterns of the modifying phrases themselves, but will limit myself to those instances in which the modifying phrase ends with the predicate-final forms of an adjective or a verb, or those of auxiliaries. The form 'Noun-phrase + no' is included only in so far as it is considered to be a transform of a predicate with the form 'Noun-phrase + Copula, ' just as the 'na form' of so-called 'na-adjectives' is included for the same reason.
