appos: apposition
An apposition (appos) is a grammaticalized, paradigmatic addition
(usually a noun phrase), which has the same referent as its head word,
and the same grammatical function
(see ISK §1059).
Also structures with a supporting noun
(see ISK §567) are
considered appositional. Appositional structures and the closely
related appellation modifiers are discussed in detail in
the document on
