This chapter deals with pragmatics and proposes an analysis of various modifiers applied to different types of nouns. It examines expansions that occur with nouns, and looks at the placement of the modifiers with respect to their governing nouns. The chapter presents the concepts that serve an analysis of the ordering of the elements within noun phrases, namely factors that may affect the internal order of noun phrases: pragmatic aspects; values that adjectives or genitives can exhibit, and the contextual status of referents. It provides an overview of the nouns examined. The chapter is devoted to quantifying expressions, specification of a referent, description of a referent, evaluation of a referent, identification of a referent, expressions of possession, valency complements, optional complements, and complex noun phrases. It argues that the semantic value of adjectives and genitives may be more or less "actualized".Keywords: adjectives; noun phrase; pragmatic aspects; referent; semantic value; valency complements
