@Brett: I am not sure if it's a preposition. Victor Bob [talk] 05:19, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- From the non-predicative adjunct test.--Brett (talk) 11:24, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- It seems to me that effective next week is a verbless clause with the AdjP effective in Predicate function and the NP next week in Adjunct function. Victor Bob [talk] 11:35, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- There is no predicand for effective to be predicate of. Effective next week, there will be a new rule.--Brett (talk) 14:17, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- A new rule will be effective next week. Victor Bob [talk] 15:03, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- In such cases, it is ambiguous between preposition and adjective, but that is not the construction in question.--Brett (talk) 16:35, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- I am sorry that I misunderstood the example sentence in the Preposition section. Thank you very much for your reply! Victor Bob [talk] 02:31, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
