Morpheme-syntax: the embryo of Rewriting

Examples:
A man, frenzied, attacked two defenseless women.

Morphosyntactic analysis:
The definite article as an adjunct adnominal;
man = noun functioning as the core of the subject;
sandy = adjective in the function of predicate (circumstantial);
attacked = transitive verb as the core of the verbal predicate;
two = numeral adjective in the function of an adnominal adjunct;
women = noun functioning as the core of the direct object;
defenseless = adjective functioning as an attributive adjunct.

Ah! My daughters and I always go out for a walk when the sun seeks the moon: two who love each other, but
never meet.

Morphosyntactic analysis:
Ah! = interjection, indicating joy;
My = possessive pronoun used as an adjective in the function of an adjectival modifier;
daughters = noun functioning as the core of the compound subject 1;
e = additive coordinating conjunction, linking nuclei of the same function;
eu = noun pronoun (in the nominative case) functioning as the core of the compound subject;
sempre= advérbio em função de adjunto adverbial de tempo;
we left = intransitive verb as the core of the verbal predicate;
a = preposition of nominal value (purpose);
walk = noun functioning as the core of the adverbial adjunct of purpose;
when = a subordinating conjunction indicating time, linking to sentence number 1 (main);
the definite article in the function of an adjectival complement;
sol = noun functioning as the core of the subject of the 2nd sentence;
search = direct transitive verb as the core of the verbal predicate;
the definite article in the function of adjectival modifier;
moon = noun functioning as the core of the direct object;
two = noun numeral (substituting the moon) functioning as the core of the subject of the 4th sentence;
that= relative pronoun functioning as the subject of the 3rd clause;
se= reflexive reciprocal pronoun functioning as a direct object;
amam = direct transitive verb as the core of the verbal predicate;
but = adversative coordinating conjunction, linking to sentence number 3;
never = adverb functioning as an adverbial adjunct of time;
se= reflexive reciprocal pronoun functioning as a direct object;

find = transitive verb acting as the nucleus of the verbal predicate;

Main questions:
Adnominal Modifier x Nominal Complement
1. Adnominal Adjective – it is the accessory term of the sentence that comes along with the noun, assigning it quality, state,
characteristic or indicating possession, restriction, and specification. It is expressed in the sentence by:

Numerals (with adjectival function) = Ex.: About twenty people left.

Articles (definite or indefinite) = Ex.: The notebook has already been completely written.
Pronoun Adjectives = Ex.: That boy is my cousin.
Adjectives = Ex.: The tall boy missed.
Adjective phrases = Ex.: The boy's watch is late.
B. Nominal Complement - it is the term of transitive value, necessarily prepositional (except in cases
sentences, when, for stylistic reasons, the preposition is omitted, completing the meaning of a noun
abstract, from an adjective or an adverb.
Examples:
a) The movie was useful to everyone. =CN of the adjective
b) The sought truth worried. =CN of the abstract noun
c) The sentence was unfavorable to the defendant.

Don't be mistaken: DNA x CN

There is often confusion between Adjunto Adnominal and Complemento Nominal.
1. The term that appears in reference to a concrete noun will always be an Adjunto Adnominal.
Examples:
The gold pen is more expensive than the silver one.
b) Toy cars are seductive childish fantasies.

The term that appears in reference to an adjective or adverb will always be Nominal Complement.
Examples:
She is rich in love.
b) Acted kindly towards the lost elderly person.

3. If the noun to which the term refers is abstract, we will have:

If the term comes with a different meaning it is a Nominal Complement.
Examples:
The idaao cinema is pleasant.
b) Faith in God must be unconditional.

4. If the term comes with the preposition 'de,' functioning as an agent, it will be a Nominal Adjunct; if it is a patient, it will be a Complement.
Nominal.
Examples:
a) Bell's invention was the telephone. (Bell invented = is an Adnominal Complement)
b) The invention of the telephone was useful. (the telephone was invented = is a Nominal Complement).

5. When a passive agent can be added after the questioned term, the Complement is found.
Nominal.
The sold object was authorized (by the dealer)

6. The abstract nouns related to transitive verbs allow for a Nominal Complement.
The answers to the tests were correct.

Aposto x Predicativo x Adjunto Adnominal x Adjunto Adverbial

Apostle - a term of substantive nature that explains another of a similar nature.
Example: The father, a dreamer, wished for his son to become a football player.

Comments: Dreamer, essentially an adjective, depending on the context in which it is inserted, as it is preceded by a term.
adnominal has become a noun; therefore, it is an explanatory apposition of the noun father.

B. Predicative - an adjective term that attributes a circumstance to a substantive term.

Example: The father, a dreamer, wished for his son to become a soccer player.

"I do not call you goddess, or woman who satisfies me; I call upon you, Word: lover of poetry!" - Nelson Maia Schocair.
 Exercise Series: MORPHOSYNTAX – Theory and Practice
Comments: Dreamer is, in this case, an adjective modifying a noun, attributing a circumstance to it; for that reason,
predicate of peace.
C. Adnominal Adjective - a term of an adjectival nature that specifies the noun, connecting directly to it, with the
to demonstrate a natural characteristic.
Example: The father wished that his son became a soccer player.

Comments: Dreamer is, in this case, an adjective modifying a noun, denoting a natural characteristic; for
this, nominative adjective of father.

D. Adverbial Adjunct – term of adverbial nature that attributes circumstance to a term of adjectival, verbal or
similar.
Example: The father urged that the son become a soccer player.

Comments: Fast is in this case the primitive adjectival form of the derived adverb quickly. This happens because
modify the meaning of the verb, attributing it a manner circumstance.
