Adjectives feature as a part of speech (word class) in most languages. In some languages, the words that serve the semantic function of adjectives are categorized together with some other class, such as nouns or verbs. In the phrase a Ford car, Ford is unquestionably a noun but its function is adjectival (noun adjunct, see below): to modify car.
