| 1 | Both restrictive and non-restrictive adjectives in sentences such as ( 3 ) are alike in that they instantiate the P in : ( 6 ) [ P E ] The difference between the two possibilities is solely that , in cases of non-restriction , the speaker is aware that the identification carried out by the noun phrase as a whole is the same as it would be if the adjective ( limiting ourselves to adjectival instances ) were not present ; in essence , we have the situation as in ( 7 ) ( where the sign =i obviously stands for equality on the parameter of identification , and not for the intensional relation of equation ) : ( 7 ) In practice , the situation is almost always somewhat more complicated in English , because there will nearly always be a determiner ; thus the non-restrictive status of the adjective in the subject phrase of ( 8 ) can be represented by the formula ( 9 ) , with Pb as the adjectival property and Pc as the property inherent in the noun ( while Pa represents the word this ) : ( 8 ) this Christian Pope committed most unchristian acts ( 9 ) Nevertheless , the presence of other elements in a noun phrase beside the non-restrictive adjective and the noun itself in no way alters the principle involved . |
