For example, 政府的工作 'the government's work' (Xinhua Net, 2015-12-23). 的 is the most frequent word in the Beijing Language Institute's 1985 frequency wordlist (CC-CEDICT '的'; Guoyu '的' particle 1; Ho 2002, '的'). -

Notes: In this usage, 的 modifies an adjective with more than one syllable to indicate an attributive relationship (Ho 2002, '的' 2; Li Shaoqi, 2003, pp. 419-420). For example, 她低声的说 She said in a low voice (Lao She, 2003, p. 176). 的 is used after reduplicated one syllable adjectives that modify a noun.

(Lao She, 2003, p. 174) 的 is used after a verb that modifies a noun (CC-CEDICT '的'; Guoyu '的' particle 1). -
