SOME POINTS TO CLARIFY:

1. What does the Adjective denote as part of speech?

The Adjective is a notional part of speech which expresses properties of the objects and, hence, qualifies the nouns.

2. What may prove the semantically bound character of the adjective?

The semantically bound character of the adjective is emphasized in English by the use of the prop-substitute one in the absence of the notional head-noun of the phrase. E.g.I don't want a yellow balloon, let me have the green one over there.

3. Is the adjective always dependent on the nouns?

No, it isn’t. if the adjective is placed in a nominatively self-dependent position, this leads to its substantivization. E.g.: Outside it was a beautiful day, and the sun tinged the snow with red. Cf.: The sun tinged the snow with the red colour.

4. Which grammatical categories can the adjective have in the English language?
