Abstract
In this chapter we deal with three word classes: adjectives, adverbs and prepositions. For each word class we specify the syntactic functions that its members can have in the sentence and/or the phrase. We also deal with three phrases: adjective phrases, adverb phrases and prepositional phrases. Each of these is discussed in terms of its structure. The comparison of adjectives and of adverbs is described in 5.2.3 and 5.3.3 respectively.
