The more usual
Goods like cigarettes, drugs, pharmaceutical pills are the more usual.
Is the more usual an adjective phrase or is it a noun phrase in the sentence above?
----------
I think it is a noun phrase, a fused-head construction, where usual, a modifier in the NP, is fused implicitly with the noun Goods, the subject in the main clause.
