Definition
a construction that expresses reference to property concepts. Examples: length (< long), happiness (< happy) are examples of the property referring phrase construction. Property reference is very rare in discourse, little described in reference grammars, and little studied in typology, so they are not further discussed here. (Section 2.2.5)
