As you continue to develop the article with your focus of finding out the elements which modify the RR noun,or even the RR NP itself,can you consider;

1.The three components of Noun and NP modification as advocated by Sidney Greenbaum& Randolph Quick's (2007.These include; The head,The premodification and The postmodification.

2.In line to the above, i think it is also important to have examples of both simple RR NP like and complex RR NPS like ,as we compare their elements and even see how far the RR NP can stretch them.
