OTHER TYPES OF UNIT AS POST-MODIFIERS
Prepositional phrases
This is by far the commonest class of circumstantial post-modifier used in English NGs. It is also the most economical. The listed examples are all defining, except the last, which is non-defining (supplementive):
the concert on Monday a clown with a red nose
the plane from Oslo a job for the experts
a ticket to Paris the man in the dark suit
the end of the story the back wheels of the car
The departure time, at 5 o’clock in the morning, was uncomfortably early for most passengers. (non-defining)
Multiple PP post-modifiers can be either coordinated or embedded:
The path over the cliffs and down to the beach. (coordinated)
Those books [on the top shelf [of the bookcase [in my bedroom]]]. (embedded)
