Starting from the traditional distinction between R(elational) and Q(ualifying) adjectives, we divide the former into two major subclasses: Th(ematic) and C(lassificatory) adjectives. This distinction has effects on semantic interpretation and word order. Th-adjectives obey the thematic hierarchy and C-adjectives follow patterns of subclassification of objects in different domains. R-adjectives are maximal projections mapped into specifier positions. Spanish, contrary to English, has overt raising for gender and number checking on the noun and the adjectives. R-adjectives are argued to form syntactic clusters by a series of adjunctions that satisfy antisymmetric c-command requirements and minimality constraints on movement.
