resource request: attributive constructions

I have had a pdf with some information about attributive constructions (constructions with an adjective linked to a noun by a pronoun, or other type of word). In the text, there was an explanation how such a construction could give rise to gender agreement markers on adjectives and to "construct state"-like forms of nouns. There were also examples of attributive constructions in some languages. However, I've lost that pdf, as well as link to some website with some information on the topic... And here is my request: could you give me some links to web resources or downloadable pdfs with information on attributive constructions?

I'd like to know, too.
BTW a related topic is Milewski's typology.
