The typology of syntactic structures where an adjective is the head of the phrase is based on the character of the dependent. In general, the dependent can be a noun (or, a pronoun), an adposition plus a noun or other word form with nominal features (e.g. nominal non-finite verbal form) or a subordinating clause. Here, find a list of examples where the dependent is a noun in the nominative case and is governed by an adposition.

Note: When a language has a syntactic capacity of forming an adjective valence phrase, but such phrase was not found in the corpus by the researcher, the slot is labeled "Not found". When a language does not have the capacity (e.g., does not employ certain case), the slot is labeled "No data".
