Note that "The boy is [asleep]" is similar in meaning to "The boy is [in the state of sleep]", and so, the adjective relationship asleep(boy) corresponds to the PP relationship in(boy,the-state-of-sleep). In other words, the adjective "asleep" is short for the adjective "in-the-state-of-sleep". That is, one of the PP's arguments is now part of the adjective word, and that is why it is possible for the equivalent adjective to have only one argument (which is the PP's 2nd arg). | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 18:15 | comment | added | F.E. | For more evidence, there's the adjectives like "asleep" and "awake" and their ilk (CGEL page 559 [17]). These are adjectives that have historically come from PPs; and today these adjectives usually don't function attributively (they often function predicatively or postpositively). Their difficulty in being used attributively could be due to their being historically coming from full PPs. (cont.) | |
