Resumen de The predicative function of Adjectives
Jesús Gerardo Martínez del Castillo
Adjectives form a structure of predication made on the base of three components: the semantic component, the predicative component and the syntactic component. The semantic component is the base for the adjective to mean and relate with other words; the predicative component is the base for the adjective to create a predication; and the syntactic component is the manifestation of the other two, that is, the external manifestation of the adjective. When an adjective is in a combination the semantic structure of the combination is the display of the structure of meaning in the adjective. Both the semantic component and the predicative component of adjectives need definition and specification. The aim of this article is to analyse the predicative definition of the adjective and the functions it performs when it enters a combination.
