| 28 | Indeed the adjective must be so understood ; if we try to imagine using , in the structure of ( 16 ) , an adjectival property which is not ascribed to the entity of the noun phrase ( nor helping as a qualifier to identify any entity of the sentence ) , there will be only two possible outcomes : If it is a property semantically compatible with the verb , the result will be taken as an ungrammatical way of expressing a thought which should have incorporated an adverb : ( 17 ) Alastair likes his beef tea great Alternatively , it will be a property that is not compatible with the verb either ; but , in that case , there will be no way of guessing what that property should be applied to — it will in effect be semantically " loose " , so that the whole will be incomprehensible : ( 18 ) the process left the documents puzzled Thus , the property of the adjective qualifies , in purely syntactic terms , the inner grouping of verb and object ; it is applied to the entity of the noun phrase , but not directly , only as part of an interlocking structure with three elements — as in certain engineering and architectural structures , each of three elements needs the other two in order for the whole to function effectively . |

What ( 47 ) suggests , however , is that the similarity of construction is not between postverbal and predicate qualifier , which has the intensional structure given in ( 48 ) , but rather between postverbal and adverbal , the intensional structure for which is repeated here as ( 49 ) : ( 48 ) ( 49 ) From the point of view of the adjectival property , ( 47 ) and ( 49 ) are essentially the same ; the adjectival property syntactically qualifies another property word , while it is applied to the entity of the noun phrase in immediate construction with the property expression of which the adjective forms part . |
