Concept: classificatory nominal

Definition

A classificatory nominal is the °predicate °nominal in a °classificational clause.

Comments

The definition is from Haspelmath (2025: 17). A more common term is "predicate nominal" (though this term is used for a predicate-like nominal in duonominal constructions in general, not just for the predicate in classificational clauses).
