Analyze and comment on the following.Explain the difference between full conversion with “valuables” and “the young” as example.
A NOUN FULLY CONVERTED FROM AN ADJECTIVE HAS ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF NOUNS. IT CAN TAKE AN INDEFINITE ARTICLE OR –(E)S TO INDICATE SINGULAR OR PLURAL NUMBER. THEY CAN BE COMMON ADJECTIVES,FOR EXAMPLE VALUABLES. NOUNS PARTIALLY CONVERTED FROM ADJECTIVES DO NOT POSSESS ALL THE QUALITIES A NOUN DOES. THEY MUST BE USED TOGETHER WITH DEFINITE ARTICLES. WHAT’S MORE, THEY RETAIN SOME OF THE ADJECTIVE FEATURES, FOR EXAMPLE, THE YOUNG.
