}An appositive is a creature that is both a nominal and a nominal modifier. Like a nominal, it can inhabit any noun slot, and it reanmes (is coreferentialwith) the noun whose slot it shares. Like a modifier, it qualifies, identifies, or limits a nominal.
}An appositive expresses its dual nature by occupying the SAME noun slot as the nominal it modifies and renames. We illustrate the dual function of the appositive by putting it in parentheses after the noun it modifies.
}When the appositive is itself a noun phrase, it is diagramed as a plain old NP. Any modifiers (determiners, adjectives etc.) of the head noun of the appositive go within the parentheses.
