The order and behaviour of the premodifier (an adjective, or other modifying word that appears before a noun) has long been a puzzle to syntacticians and semanticists. Why can we say 'the actual red ball', but not 'the red actual ball'? And why, conversely, do some other premodifiers have free variation in sentences; for example we can say both 'German and English speakers' and 'English and German speakers'? Why do some premodifiers change the meaning of a phrase in some contexts; for example 'young man', can mean 'boyfriend', rather than 'man who is young'? Drawing on a corpus of over 4,000 examples of English premodifiers from a range of genres such as advertising, fiction and scientific texts, and across several varieties of English, this book synthesises research into premodifiers and provides a new explanation of their behaviour, order and use.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine (1) the unmarked order of multiple premodifiers and (2) premodification by nouns in English, Slovene, and Swedish. It seeks to portray both similarities and differences between the three languages in regard to both of these topics. It shows that Feists theory on different zones of premodifiers and their orders in English can be successfully applied to premodifiers in Slovene and Swedish as well. Using examples from reference books and corpora, this then exposes differences in orders across the languages, both inside the zones and outside of them, which challenges the theories of universal hierarchy of adjective orders. The part on nominal premodification shows on concrete examples that Slovene equivalents of English noun premodifiers change word class and/or position in the phrase, whereas in Swedish they become parts of compounds. Furthermore, Slovene disambiguates potential structural ambiguity that might arise in English phrases with multiple noun premodification, whereas Swedish does not always.
