Important Notes Sample This: What are Adjectives?: Adjectives are words that modify or describe nouns. An adjective can be put before a noun. This is called attributive position. An adjective can also be put after the verb to be (is/are/am/was/were) or verb of sense (look/feel/taste/smell etc.). This is called the predicative position. 10,000 Useful Adjectives: | NOTE: All of the following words are definitely used as adjectives, but many of them can also be used as nouns, verbs, etc. || Useful Adjectives -- ‘A’--- 1. abandoned, 2. abashed, 3. aberrant, 4. abhorrent, 5. abiding, 6. ablaze, 7. able, 8. able-bodied, 9. abnormal, 10. abominable, 11. abortive, 12. above, 13. above board, 14. above-mentioned, 15. abrasive, 16. abrupt, 17. absent, 18. absent-minded, 19. absolute, 20. absorbable, 21. absorbed, 22. absorbent, 23. absorbing, 24. abstemious, 25. abstracted, 26. abundant, 27. abusive, 28. abysmal, 29. academic, 30. academically bright, 31. accented, 32. acceptable, 33. accessible, 34. accessory, 35. accidental, 36. accident-prone, 37. accommodating, 38. accomplished, 39. accountable, 40. accredited, 41. accumulative, 42. accurate, 43. accursed, 44. accusatory, 45. accusing, 46. accustomed, 47. achievable, 48. achy, 49. acidic, 50. acne-prone, 51. acoustic, 52. acoustical, 53. acquainted, 54. acquisitive, 55. acrimonious, 56. acrobatic, 57. acrylic, 58. acting, 59. actionable, 60. action-oriented, 61. action-packed, 62. active, 63. actively zealous, 64. actual, 65. acute, 66. acutely conscious, 67. acyclic, 68. adamant, 69. adamantine, 70. adaptable, 71. adaptive, 72. addicted, 73. addiction-related, 74. addictive, 75. additional, 76. addressable, 77. adept, 78. adhesive, 79. adjacent, 80. adjustable, 81. administrative, 82. admirable, 83. admissible, 84. adopted, 85. adoptive, 86. adorable, 87. adoring, 88. adrift, 89. adroit, 90. adult, 91. adulterous, 92. adult-oriented, 93. advanced, 94. advancing, 95. advantaged, 96. advantageous, 97. adventitious, 98. adventure-loving, 99. adventuresome, 100. adventurous, 101. adverbial, 102. adversarial, 103. adverse, 104. adversely hit, 105. advisable, 106. advisory, 107. aerial, 108. aerobic, 109. aeronautical, 110. aesthetic, 111. aesthetical, 112. aesthetically designed, 113. affable, 114. affected, 115. affective, 116. affiliated, 117. affirmative, 118. affluent, 119. affordable, 120. afloat, 121. afoot, 122. aforementioned, 123. aforethought, 124. afraid, 125.

This book brings together research on the semantics and pragmatics of adjectives and adverbs. It integrates lexical and compositional semantics and provides a full account of the structural and interpretive properties of adjectives and adverbs. It will interest students in linguistics and philosophy at graduate level and above.

This volume offers a state-of-the-art picture of work undertaken in the field of computer-aided corpus linguistics. While the focus is on English, central insights can be generalised to other languages, as well. As a work intended to mark the Silver Jubilee of ICAME, the International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval English, the book combines surveys of the discipline by some of its major pioneers, including founders of ICAME itself, with cutting-edge work by younger scholars. It is divided into three sections: “Overviewing years of corpus linguistic studies”, “Descriptive studies in English syntax and semantics”, and “Second Language Acquisition, parallel corpora and specialist corpora”. The book bears witness to the impressive advances that have characterised the development of corpus linguistics over the past few decades – from terminological issues to practical applications, from theoretical and descriptive research to applied approaches, from monolingual to multilingual and specialist corpora, from corpus design to corpus exploitation tools.
