Premodifier

A modifier placed in front of its head. A premodifier in a noun phrase is typically realized as an adjective, and denotes a quality/property of the head. Examples: the red apple, a definite answer, her impressive performance, X-rated films. Premodifiers of nouns can also be realized as nouns, and sometimes as phrases.
