My understanding in that nouns in apposition refer to the same thing, while in this case "C" has the function of specifying the type of code snippet. I would call it an attributive noun. (I also agree with psmears that "{SQL {reserved keywords}}" seems like a possible parse.) | |
| Jan 21, 2011 at 22:37 | comment | added | psmears | I would parse the second sentence as: "{SQL {reserved keywords}} are written in uppercase." - to get "SQL" to join "reserved" you'd have to hyphenate them... | |
