Definition: Adjoiningness in linguistics refers to the relationship between a noun, pronoun or verb that serves as a proper noun and another noun, pronoun or verb. A proper noun is a specific name that is used to refer back to the real thing. For example, 'the apple', 'a cat', 'his brother' are all proper nouns. The word "adjacent" comes from Latin and means "closer than before", which means closer than what was previously present or present at the time of creation. This word is used in the context of referring to something that is near another thing (usually a person, place, or thing). For example, 'the apple' is adjacent to 'his brother'.
