CHAPTER I IDENTFYING QUALITATIVE ADJECTIVES

1.2 The subjective Nature of qualitative adjectives
"Qualitative adjectives are those that apply judgment to the subject matter rather than describing something that can be observed. Angry is a qualitative adjective in that it is the application of the writer's judgment rather than the observation of behavior. Slamming the telephone down is a modifying phrase that describes behavior. It is also a more powerful image than angry. Description of attributes and action is simultaneously less judgmental and more powerful than the attribution of qualities. Words like normal, ordinary, unusual, and rare apply the journalist's (often unfounded) opinion to people and events."
"In the Collins COBUILD English Language Dictionary, an 'extra column,' beside the entry, adds the information that sturdy is a qualitative adjective, in all its senses; and that, in sense 1.2, it is usually used attributively--that is, before the noun--as in sturdy friends. (This pattern is clearer in an example such as they are sturdy supporters of the club, where sturdy goes with the verb support (= they support the club sturdily). If the adjective is used predicatively--that is, after the noun--the sense will typically shift to 1.1: the club's supporters are sturdy = 'strong robust people.'
