NOUN PHRASES (frases nominales)

La frase nominal es un conjunto de palabras -dos o más- donde el núcleo es un sustantivo y el resto de las palabras son modificadores (estos modificadores pueden ser adjetivos por excelencia o gerundios, participios y sustantivos actuando como adjetivos)


En inglés los adjetivos se colocan delante del sustantivo y modifican directamente al núcleo (sustantivo) que se posiciona en último lugar de la frase.

ej. 1: antioxidant content (adjetivo + sustantivo) "contenido antioxidante"

ej. 2: plant-based diet (sustantivo + participio + sustantivo) "dieta a base de vegetales"

ej. 3: influencing factors (gerundio + sustantivo) "factores influyentes"

La frase nominal también puede estar modificada indirectamente con preposiciones y sus modificadores:

ej. center of attention "centro de atención"

"center" es el núcleo sustantivo y la preposición "of" lo modifica indirectamente. En estos casos la comprensión se facilita ya que el orden de las palabras se asemeja al del español.

Otra modificación indirecta puede ser la cláusula adjetiva:

ej. diseases which are associated "enfermedades que están asociadas"
