Noun

adjectival (plural adjectivals)

1. An adjectival phrase or clause.
   • 2013, Harrie Wetzer, The Typology of Adjectival Predication (page 240)

     Within this line of reasoning, then, Tagalog is classified as a language in which adjectivals are essentially neutral between a nouny and a verby interpretation.
