Can you give me some examples of this? Cases other than the kind that refers to perople like  'the poor' will be appreciated. Anonymous Articles, Grammar, Nouns, English Grammar

	Lovek323  +  386120 Sat, 30 Jun 07 06:15 AM The adjective 'unexpected' is being used substantively. This occurs frequently in English, e.g., 'Only the good die young'. The adjective is not, strictly speaking, functioning as a noun (although it is a nounal phrase) -- the noun still exists for the purposes of grammar, but it has been elided.
