In this grammar, an adjective is classified as "restrictive" if it is definite (i.e. takes a definite article) and describes a definite noun.
|
|
The noun may or may not take the definite article.

Adjectives occur in five basic patterns when modifying a noun:
|
|
#. Noun-article-adjective or with the article before the noun (article-noun-article-adjective)
|
|
#. Article-adjective-noun
|
|
#. Article-noun-adjective
|
|
#. Adjective-noun
|
|
#. Noun-adjective
|
|
|
|
Pattern 1 is classified as restrictive in the UGNT and UGG.
|
|
Patterns 2, 3, 4, and 5, are classified as ascriptive in the UGG and the UGNT.

INCORRECT DEFINITION OF RESTRICTIVE ADJECTIVE **FOR UNLOCKED GREEK GRAMMAR**
|
|
Some resources will describe an adjectival clause as restrictive if it narrows down (or identifies) the noun it is modifying.
|
|
In other words it directs the reader to a specific person or thing (or persons or things) from a larger group.
|
|
In contrast an ascriptive adjective provides additional information about a person or thing that has already been clearly identified.
|
|
For the purposes of the Unlocked Greek Grammar, the terms “ascriptive” and “restrictive” are NOT being used in this manner.
|
|
Restrictive adjectives are adjectives that are not functioning as a noun and follow the pattern **Noun-Article-Adjective** or
|
|
with an article before the noun (article-noun-article-adjective) .
