This paper deals with the so-called inflectionless adjectives in Bulgarian. Severalnew empirical observations are made regarding the syntactic distribution, the restrictions on definiteness, and the exclamatory flavour of the noun phrases inwhich these adjectives occur. The main proposal is that these lexical items arepredicates of (nominal) small clauses and that the construction in question doesnot seem to be limited to these exceptional adjectives. It is argued that both theattributive type and the comparative type of nominal predication are attested inBulgarian, on a par with English small clauses like an idiot doctor and an idiot ofa man. I outline a syntactic account of these two types of nominal predication, according to which the two types correspond to different structures. I also proposethat the semantic and syntactic properties of inflectionless adjectives are best accounted for if we assume that they combine with a null noun.
