The order of most modifiers within DPs is tightly fixed in Basque. While adjectives must be placed after the nominal head and before demonstratives, cardinal quantifiers are placed before nouns. Besides, stacked descriptive adjectives appear to have a non-marked order, which is the mirror image of the one found in languages where adjectives follow nouns (Sproat & Shih 1988; Scott 2002).
