After verbs and nouns, adjectives are the most important lexical word class. This is a descriptive and theoretical study of this central grammatical category, providing a demonstration of the validity of Halliday's hypothesis, and aiming to contribute to the linguistic theory of both systemic functional an 410 0$aFunctional descriptions of language series. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAdjective 606 $aLexicology 606 $aSystemic grammar 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAdjective. 615 0$aLexicology. 615 0$aSystemic grammar. 676 $a415 676 $a425 700 $aTucker$b Gordon H$g(Gordon Howard),$f1945-$01565212 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777488403321 996 $aThe lexicogrammar of adjectives$93834657 997 $aUNINA
