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.
