ABSTRACT
The common property of all elements in this chapter is that they do not form
complete sentences. This chapter sets out the following structural units: the noun
phrase, consisting of noun and modifier (adjectival 2.1, appositional 2.2), the
annexation unit (2.3), dependent noun phrases of all types (2.4), together with the
remaining phrase structures, which usually share one or more of the features of
these categories (2.5±2.18). Coordination at phrase level is also dealt with (2.19, see Chapter 6 for clause level).
