Nominal

For other uses, see Nominal (disambiguation).

In linguistics, a nominal is a part of speech in some languages that shares features with nouns and adjectives.

Examples

Nominals are a common feature of Indigenous Australian languages, many of which do not categorically differentiate nouns from adjectives.

Some features of nominals in some Australian languages include:

• the ability to take grammatical case marking,
• the ability to function substantively (head a noun phrase), and
• the ability to function predicatively (modify another nominal).

Japanese

In Japanese, 形容動詞, keiyō-dōshi (literally "adjectival verbs") can be analyzed as nominals – see adjectival noun (Japanese)

See also

• Noun phrase
• Post-nominal
• Pre-nominal
