Resulting from a syntactic process, adjectivity refers to the adjectival use of a word. It partly comprises adjectivation, which refers more specifically to the morphological transformation of a word into an adjective. The collected volume offers an overview of this phenomenon in 14 of the many languages in which it can be observed, thus allowing a comparative perspective on the morphosyntactic and semantic functioning of these languages.

Efficient, simple, and empirically grounded, Lucien Tesnière’s principles of structural syntax have remained to this day very popular among linguists. Far beyond the field of syntax itself, the Elements of Structural Syntax have found lasting echo in all branches of linguistics. This volume offers a contemporary appraisal of Tesnière’s legacy.
