“…On the other hand, there has been a gradual increase in scholarly efforts focussing on adjectivalisation, particularly within the domain of denominal adjectives, commencing with seminal works by Ljung (1970), Levi (1978), and Beard (1995). Notable contributions have emerged from scholars such as Giegerich (2005Giegerich ( , 2009, Fábregas (2007Fábregas ( , 2020, Fradin (2008Fradin ( , 2017, Bisetto (2010), Cetnarowska (2013), Rainer (2013), Spencer (2013), Spencer and Nikolaeva (2017), and Spencer (2013, 2020), as well as, significantly, a comprehensive series of works by Nagano (2013Nagano ( , 2015Nagano ( , 2016Nagano ( , 2018aNagano ( , 2018b, Nagano and Shimada (2015), Shimada and Nagano (2018), and Nagano (2023) as the latest contribution. Thanks to these remarkable previous studies, the properties of denominal adjectives have been systematically and deliberately advanced, with cross-linguistic implications.…”

Denominal -ed Adjectives and Their Adjectival Status in English Morphology

In the study of English denominal adjectives, scholarly attention has predominantly centred on those with Latinate suffixes (e.g., -al, -ary, and -ic/-ical), which are well-known as relational adjectives (RAdjs) and are extensively scrutinised in the existing literature. Conversely, those with English native suffixes (e.g., -en, -ern, -y, and -ed) have not undergone thorough examination to date. In the present study, I delve specifically into denominal adjectives with the suffix -ed (-ed Adjs), such as bearded, long-tailed, and shirt-sleeved. I present a novel basic picture of these adjectives, setting forth the following two central propositions: (i) -ed Adjs are a type of RAdj and (ii) undergo conversion to qualitative adjectives (QAdjs) (e.g., bearded man vs. bearded rock) akin to the better-known Latinate RAdjs (e.g., grammatical error vs. grammatical sentence). The analysis is conducted by examining suffixal etymology (i.e., Latinate or Germanic), suffixal properties (i.e., all-purpose or dedicated), and the driving factor for QAdj-forming conversion (i.e., the modal attribute true). These propositions and analyses collectively enrich our comprehensive understanding of the semantic and morphosyntactic properties of -ed Adjs within the realm of English morphology.

“…In ( 8) examples are given of sentences containing lady doctor(s) selected from various sections of GloWbE, mainly from Indian and Pakistani English. The compound lady doctor appears in (8) in contexts in which we could find woman doctor and female doctor in COCA or the BNC, as students can check for themselves (see also Cetnarowska, 2017). There is either a covert or overt contrast between the female-marked forms (i.e., lady doctor) and the male individuals, for instance the contrast between male and female doctors in (8a-c) or female doctors and male patients in (8d-f).…”

This paper discusses some corpus-based activities which can be used to increase the sensitivity of advanced L2 learners of English to the constraints on the occurrence of gender-marked forms in English. Guidelines for gender-inclusive language recommend replacing gender-specific job titles, such as fireman/firewoman, with gender-neutral nouns, i.e. firefighter. By investigating examples gleaned from the Corpus of Contemporary American English and the British National Corpus, learners of English can identify the conditions under which gender-specific forms may be employed. They can also see which type of gender-marked forms occurs more commonly in each of those corpora (e.g., woman driver or female driver). A further online corpus known as Global Web-Based English can be used with advanced L2 learners of English as a source of data indicating different attitudes towards gender-marked forms in native and non-native varieties of English, as can be shown for occupational terms with the modifier lady.
