Blown-up Prenominal

Blown-up prenominal is a term used in grammar to describe a prenominal modifier that has been emphasized or magnified to convey a stronger emphasis or meaning.

Examples of blown-up prenominal:

Adjectives:

• An enormous mansion
• A tiny creature

In both examples, the adjectives "enormous" and "tiny" have been blown up to emphasize the extreme size of the mansion and the smallness of the creature.

Nouns:

In these instances, the nouns "museum" and "revolutionary" are used as blown-up prenominals to highlight the significance and impact of the masterpiece and idea respectively.
