Thus, in a sequence such as [French English teacher''], since ''English'' is closer to
the Head Noun ''teacher'', it must be a Complement; and since ''French'' is further
away from ''teacher'', it must be an Attribute. Hence, we correctly predict that

teaches English who is French?. So our analysis not only has semantic plausi-
bility; but in addition it has independent syntactic support.
