0When I say (with its equivalent part of speech according to PS. Penn Treebank tags 01a
05000... 02a00 ) 02br
02br
00convert/VB binary/JJ 111/CD to/TO decimal/JJ system/NN 02br
02br
00my specific interest is on that binary/JJ 111/CD , "binary" is the 02br
00 adjective of the number "111" and it modifies the number. 02br
02br
00In English, almost every noun can act as adjective which is called 02br
00 adjectival noun , it's always located to the left of the noun that it 02br
00 modifies called the head, such as "water tank", "dog house", "computer 02br
00 program", those words water, dog, computer are adjectival noun 02br
00 respectively. 02br
02br
00so how about this, 02br
02br
00convert/VB 2/CD kilometers/NN to/TO meter/NN 02br
02br
00"2" is a cardinal number and is also a noun, "2" will modifies 02br
00 "kilometers", do we look at "2" as the adjective of kilometer ? or how 02br
00 do you look at it ? Thank you. 02br
02br
