Abstract

Abstract The systematic but often subtle semantic differences between prenominal and post nominal adjectives first noted by Bolinger (1967) in many respects remain poorly understood. There remains a similar murkiness surrounding some of the systematic but often subtle semantic differences between preverbal and post verbal adverbs, of the sort noted by Jackendoff (1972), Bellert (1977), Ernst (1984, 2002), and Cinque (1994), among many others. This chapter focuses on one difference of this sort that occurs in both these murky domains: for both adjectives and adverbs, nonrestrictive interpretations are possible without resort to parenthetical intonation only in pre-head positions.
