How to carry out morphological analysis of an adjective

Morphological analysis of an adjective represents its total grammatical characteristic as parts of speech. Analysis only of those adjectives which are given in specific proposal can be carried out. As the correct analysis of the parts of speech presented out of a context is impossible.

What needs to be known for the correct analysis of an adjective

Competently to execute morphological analysis, it is necessary to have an idea what morphological features are inherent in an adjective. It is also necessary to understand what of them are unchangeable, constant and in general characteristic of this part of speech. It is necessary to understand what of these signs – changeable and changeable. And also it is necessary to know what syntactic roles in the offer can be at an adjective.

In the course of analysis of an adjective it is necessary to be able to define an initial form of this part of speech, to call its constant signs, to find and mark out signs which change.

Order of morphological analysis of an adjective

First of all, it is necessary to call a part of speech to which the pledged concrete word belongs. Then to define grammatical meaning and also to establish a question which the word offered for analysis answers. Then it is necessary to put an adjective in an initial form. And further it is necessary to call morphological features of this part of speech, constant and changeable. The category on value belongs to the first group. According to this characteristic, adjectives are relative, qualitative and possesive. The adjective has much more changeable signs, than constants. If the adjective qualitative, then at it is defined a degree of comparison and a form further (full or short). Happens so that the qualitative adjective has no short form or a degree of comparison. Then its form belongs to constant signs. Further for all adjectives, irrespective of a form, it is necessary to define number, a sort and a case. And to specify a syntactic role of this part of speech in this offer. It is worth remembering that when performing morphological analysis of an adjective it needs to be written out from the offer unchanged. If its syntactic role – definition for a noun with a pretext (for example, "in the beautiful place"), then a pretext it is not necessary to touch as it does not belong to an adjective. It is also necessary to remember that this part of speech can have the compound form (for example, "the closest"). Then the adjective needs to be written out from the offer completely. Also it is worth to remember that the changeable sign of a case happens at adjectives only of a full form. At analysis of a short adjective it is necessary to specify only constant signs.
