ABSTRACT
Attribute-head assignment means to assign the pattern of attribute-head to clause constituents. The head with an attribute is called an attributive head; it is to be distinguished from the adverbial head and the complemental head in adverbialhead and head-complement patterns. Attributive heads may be realised by words or phrases, as in
(1) hǎo xiāng-de huā! very fragrant-SP fl ower! ‘How fragrant the fl owers are!’
