The term adjective phrase is commonly used for any phrase in attributive position, whether it is technically an adjective phrase, noun phrase, or prepositional phrase. These may be more precisely distinguished as phrasal attributives or attributive phrases. Mr. Clinton is a wealthy man. (the adjective wealthy modifies the noun man) That boy is friendless. (the adjective friendless modifies the noun boy) The best way to understand this type of phrase and how it functions is to examine some examples of these phrases in action. Let’s take a look at an example with an adjective: “The beautiful (adjective phrase) house” and “The house that is beautiful (adjectival phrase)” mean the same thing, but the former has an adjective, whereas the latter has an adjectival phrase. Another set of examples is, “the angry (adjective phrase) dog” and “the dog that is acting very angry. (adjectival phrase)”
