Classifier and Describers Adjectives describers and classifiers are types of Adjectives used to define a noun Describers (Descriptive Adjective): provide subjective or factual information about a noun, such as its size, color, shape, or quality or the speaker/ writer’s attitude to it. They describe what a thing is like. Examples: Hot coffee, red car, dusty road, big house, beautiful view, a large towel, a nice sofa, a lovely painting. Characteristics: Often gradable (e.g., very hot, quite red). Classifiers: (Classificational Modifier) : a word (often an adjective or a noun acting as an adjective) that assigns a noun to a specific class, type, group, or category. They define what type of thing it is. Examples: Electric car, police car, sports car, chemical analysis, secondary education, a kitchen table, luxury bath towels. Characteristics: Usually non-gradable (you cannot have a "very electric car" or a "more secondary education" NOTE: Position: Describer usually comes before Classifier A beautiful leather bag ("beautiful" = describer, "leather" = classifier) A fast sports car ("fast" = describer, "sports" = classifier) A modern electric car ("modern" = describer, "electric" = classifier)
