All languages have ways to modify nouns (e.g. adjectives) and to express possession (e.g. by the preposition of), but many languages lack these grammatical devices and use a variety of other means, often blurring the distinction between the two categories. Although linguists have studied adjectival constructions and possessive constructions there has been very little research on the (very tricky) question of how adjectival and possessive constructions relate to each other. We will survey previous research on the ways nouns can be modified across languages and we will provide a preliminary conceptual analysis of the problem.

所有的语言都有修饰名词（如形容词）和表示拥有（如介词of）的方法，但许多语言缺乏这些语法手段，并使用各种其他手段，往往模糊了这两个类别之间的区别。虽然语言学家们已经研究了形容词性结构和所有格结构，但是很少有人研究形容词性结构和所有格结构之间的关系。我们将调查以前的研究方式名词可以跨语言修饰，我们将提供一个初步的概念分析的问题。
