Dear Teacher/Member
I have a problem with the sentence following:
I understand the meaning of this sentence, like : "There are new kind of crime." But I don't understand its structures.But there are also new crime types emerging
For example:
There are also new crime
S ------ V --------- adj--noun
I know that "Adjective" is a word that describe a "Noun" and position of Adjective is in front of Noun to make a pharse. That makes a sense.
But I don't understand 2 words "types" and "emerging" in this sentence, about both its structures - place and its meaning.
Looking at dictionary, and I see that :
- type (noun): a particular group of people or things which shares similar characteristics and forms a smaller division of a larger set. And I think it is similar to "kind".
- emerging (adj): starting to exist
Why dose someone put a Noun before an Adjective?
What is assignment of this pharse "type emerging" in the sentence, for example it attributes to what?
Please help me, my English is not good but I'm trying hard to improve my English skill.
Thanks in advancce and Best Regards.
/On second thought, I think "crime types" is Noun-pharse. But Do we can use like that? I am really confuse :(

I'm short of time so I will just make one comment. Your paraphrasing is not correct.
There are new crime types emerging = New kinds of crime are turning up/appearing.
Your sentence "There are new kind of crime" is not correct. After "there are", you need a plural.
I recommend this one:
But there are also new types of crimes emerging day by day.
