Is it true that English phrase structure rules govern adjective placement?

Yes. English phrase structure rules govern adjective placement, as evidenced by syntactic and cognitive constraints on how adjectives combine with nouns.

The analysis

The claim states that English phrase structure rules govern adjective placement. Papers [9] and [10] directly investigate the syntax and hierarchical ordering of adjectives and nouns within English (and comparative structures), confirming that adjective placement and interpretation follow structured syntactic rules. No papers contradict this widely accepted linguistic principle.
