Noun phrases in the speech
I wonder whether native speakers could advise me how to know, intuitively I suppose, that the first noun is in the attributive position and the second one is the head in the noun phrase when both are pronounced quickly during the conversation. I have no problems with that when I read, but in the conversation sometimes I think about it often losing the rest of the words that follow such a noun phrase.
