Some Spanish adjectives are restricted with respect to order (in some cases order determines the meaning of adjectives: ``un pobre hombre'' vs. ``un hombre pobre''). We have adjectives which can occur:

• Only as postmodifiers: ``una entrada accesible'';
• Only as premodifiers: ``un buen/gran hombre'' -- most of these adjectives have their postmodifier form: ``un hombre bueno/grande" (apocope);
• As both pre- and postmodifiers: ``un (difícil) trabajo (difícil)''.

These facts are coded in EUROTRA-ES grammars under the feature adjpos.
