Volume 28, Issue 3 - Trends in medical writing
Good Writing Practice
Authors: Wendy Kingdom, Amy Whereat, Michael Lewis Schneir
Abstract
Excessive post-noun modification, usually as adjectival prepositional phrases, occurs fre - quently in research writing. Occurring less frequently, and less distracting, is excessive prenoun adjectival modification (i.e., stacked modifi cation). The post-noun adjectival mod - ification often occurs after a noun functioning as an object of an adverbial prepositional phrase.
