<p>from LP</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The term '''substantive''' is occasionally used to denote the word class consisting of nouns and adjectives, sometimes defined by the feature [+N]' (=[[noun]]).<br /> <br /> === Comments ===<br /> This is the terminology used in Chomsky (1981:48) and occasionally in later work influenced by him. Chomsky refers to his ''substantive'' category as &quot;based on traditional grammar&quot;. This seems to be due to a misunderstanding, since the traditional term ''substantive'' specifically excludes adjectives (see [[substantive (continental)]]), while Chomsky specifically includes them. (Maybe he was vaguely aware that in an older tradition, there was a term for a class including both nouns and adjectives, but this term is [[noun (Latin nomen)]].)<br /> <br /> === Polysemy ===<br /> Substantive also denotes<br /> * noun (see [[substantive (continental)]])<br /> <br /> === Synonyms ===<br /> *[[noun (Latin nomen)]]<br /> <br /> === Origin ===<br /> Apparently first used by Chomsky (1981:48).<br /> <br /> === See also ===<br /> *[[noun]]<br /> *[[noun(2)]]<br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> Chomsky, Noam. 1981.
