Postmodifier

A modifier which is placed after its head (thus a function at phrase level). The term 'postmodifier' is most often associated with noun phrases, but can also apply to adjective phrases and adverb phrases. Postmodifiers of nouns may be realized as prepositional phrases (man of the year, ticket to London), as relative clauses (a man who wants a wife, a ticket that cost a fortune), as participle clauses (the man observed near the scene of the crime , the man lurking in the background), or occasionally, a postposed adjective (the man responsible, the tickets available ).
