Adjectivization
Definition
The act of adjectivizing and its result; a morphological and semantic process through which a lexical unit belonging to another part of speech (such as a participle, a gerund, a noun, or an adverb) changes its grammatical value, becoming an adjective. This structural phenomenon involves adapting the agreement in gender, number, and case with the determined noun and enriching the meaning with qualifying nuances.
