Also adjective?

Can this word also be used as an adjective, as in 历史学会? 24.29.228.33 18:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

No. In that sentence, 历史 is merely acting as an attributive noun. ---> Tooironic 02:23, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I see--I've never heard of an attributive noun before. Is that like the "United States" in "United States Army"? 71.66.97.228 02:29, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

See: Noun adjunct. -- A-cai 12:19, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
