1The head word of the phrase is an adjective, so it must be an adjective phrase. Dependents of the head (complements, modifiers and determiners) are part of the phrase: the adverb "very" is a dependent (a modifier) of "beautiful" so it must be part of the AdjP. – BillJ Jul 24 '16 at 8:56

It's an adjective phrase, a group of words that describe the noun "writer".

Very-intensifier , beautiful - adjective, writer-noun. In your link, The movie was not too terribly long, why not the adjective long included as a part of the adjective phrase? – Anubhav Singh Jul 24 '16 at 7:42

1Yes, it should be underlined too. No idea why it's not. By negligence, I suppose. – Lamplighter Jul 24 '16 at 8:06
