    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we discussed the similarities and differences among adnominal constituents, i.e. adjectives and &amp;quot;noun + NO&amp;quot; structures which have a broad range of semantic functions.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Nouns and adjectives differ in part of speech, but they sometimes have similarities when used adnominally. In such a case, we need not distinguish them from each other semantically. We investigated explicit criteria to detect similarities and differences between nouns and adjectives in adnominal usage. This research was verified by using large corpora and a self-organizing mapping system based on the neural network model. In future work, we will attempt to systematically classify words used adnominally according to the semantic behavior of adnominal constituents following the theoretical insights of Pustejovsky.</Paragraph>
