Adnominal

定语

A term used by some grammarians to refer to the elements in a noun phrase which modify a noun (an analogy with adverbial), such as adjectives, prepositional phrases and “possessive” nouns, e.g. the big hat. A description in terms of “adnominal” elements may also be used in the classification of relative clauses.

有些语法学家用来指名词短语中修饰名词的成分（由状语类推而来），诸如形容词、介词短语和“领属”名词等，例如the big hat“大帽子”。这个术语也用来指一类关系小句。
