<p>utrecht</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Predicative noun phrase''' is a [[NP|noun phrase]] which is used as a [[predicate]], rather than as a referring expression.<br /> <br /> === Example ===<br /> <br /> in ''he is the boss'', meaning that he is in charge, the noun phrase ''the boss'' is used predicatively (it denotes a property). In the sentence ''the boss will have to deal with that'', (meaning that whoever is (going to be) the boss, he will have to deal with that), ''the boss'' is also taken as a predicative noun phrase.<br /> <br /> === Links ===<br /> <br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Predicative+noun+phrase&amp;lemmacode=428 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics]<br /> <br /> {{ref}}<br /> <br /> {{dc}}<br /> [[Category:Syntax]]</div>
