Abstract

This paper introduces a class-based approach to ordering prenominal modifiers. Modifiers are grouped into broad classes based on where they tend to occur prenominally, and a framework is developed to order sets of modifiers based on their classes. This system is developed to generate several orderings for modifiers with more flexible positional constraints, and lends itself to bootstrapping for the classification of previously unseen modifiers.
