Front | Multiple modifiers of a noun phrase may occur in any order. However, two trends they have are: |
---|---|
Back | 1. Modifiers involving inherent personal characteristics often occur closer to the head noun: {穿毛衣的} {很可爱的} 小孩子 2. Modifiers including specifiers and numbers often occur first in a sequence, although they can occur last for emphasis or contrast: {那个} {戴眼镜的} {很高的} 人 or (for emphasis on person) {很高的} {戴眼镜的} {那个} 人 |
