Modifiers vs. qualifiers

what is the difference between modifiers and qualifiers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Infantraja.j (talk • contribs) 17:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is one; they're different terms for about the same thing. —Ruakh_TALK 18:01, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More examples needed

Are they, the examples that are there are quite confusing

What details a modifier can add to a sentence

Consider what questions can be answered by adding a modifier into the sentence. For example, the phrase "land mines, in wartime". "Land" describes where, and "wartime" describes when. What other kinds of questions can be answered by adding a modifier into the sentence? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.99.113 (talk) 19:34, 26 September 2008 (UTC) stupid addition fuck the bastard thsat created the website[reply]

Qualifier has a different meaning in object-oriented computing

The concept of qualifier in computing refers to an unique value to represent an entity in a relationship. It is extensively defined since UML 1.5. In the following page, there is an application of this concept although it doesn't use the formal definition found in UML: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_element_name.

The qualifier page refers only to this grammatical qualifier page which is not the only meaning for qualifier.

By the way, the word 'qualifier' is very frequent in sport pages in Wikipedia where it refers to a sport event intended to select the final players for another event. domroy (talk) 17:37, 3 June 2011 (UTC) Dominic Roy[reply]

Premodifiers vs. Postmodifiers

The following question was posted by Special:Contributions/76.78.53.13 in revision https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grammatical_modifier&oldid=851931389:

OK, waitaminute, whoever wrote that. "Violators are subject to court martial." "This has been true since time immemorial." These sentences become utterly different--perhaps even syntactically invalid--if you remove "martial" or "immemorial." The same is true of any sentence I can come up with that uses either phrase. So doesn't that mean they aren't actually modifiers, according to the definition given above?

I've added it here for posterity. Nelfin (talk) 04:01, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
