What is the meaning of attributive?
Definition
adj (English)
1. (grammar, of a word or phrase) Modifying another word, typically a noun, while in the same phrase.Examples: "In "this big house", "big" is attributive, whereas in "this house is big", it is predicative."; "In "this tiger is a man-eater," "man" is an attributive noun."; "Since both Attributes and Adjuncts recursively expand N-bar into N-bar, it seems clear that the two have essentially the same function, so that Attributes are simply pronominal Adjuncts (though we shall continue to follow tradition and refer to attributive premodifiers as Attributes rather than Adjuncts)."Antonyms: predicative
noun (English)
1. (grammar) An attributive word or phrase (see above), contrasted with predicative or substantive.Examples: "In "this big house," "big" is an attributive, while in "this house is big," it is a predicative."
