This study presents models of lexicographical definitions of adjectives derived from a nominal base and a suffix. It is based on Prof. K. Manchev’s theory that the quality conveyed by an adjective may be viewed as a process which evolved a permanent feature of its subject. This type of adjective possesses four main semantic components which are recognized as their four functions (subject, object, destination and instrument) and their variants (origin and result). Various combinations of them presented through their semantic and syntactic configurations and conveying a definite relationship, have been analyzed. In terms of syntax each of these relations have a corresponding pattern which can build up a periphrastic lexicographic definition of a number of adjectives.
