modifier

In linguistics, a modifier is an optional element in phrase structure or clause structure which modifies the meaning of another element in the structure. For instance, the adjective "red" acts as a modifier in the noun phrase "red ball", providing extra details about which particular ball is being referred to. Similarly, the adverb "quickly" acts as a modifier in the verb phrase "run quickly". Modification can be considered a high-level domain of the functions of language, on par with predication and reference.

    Diff Rear End Torque Specs And Friction Modifier Question

    Hey guys, I have an 85 CJ7 Laredo I6 and I'm leaking at the rear end. I was just wondering what the rear torque specs are when I replace the gaskets and is friction modifier / limited slip additive is required? Let me know. Thanks, have a great holiday weekend. Dave
