Some Notes on Drawing Syntactic Trees. In any ‘Introduction to Linguistics’ course, there comes a time when you are asked to use Phrase Structure (PS) rules to draw syntactic trees for various sentences of English. In this class, our PS rules for English currently look as follows:
(a) Draw the phrase structure tree for the Ivatan sentence in (A). [2 points] (b) Think about what the trees for the Ivatan examples in (B-C) would look like (you do not need to draw the trees). It is not straighforward to draw the tree structures for (B-C). Explain what the problem is. (You do not need to solve the problem.) [2 points]
This practice exercise helps students develop skills in syntactically analyzing sentences, identifying their key constituents, and creating hierarchical tree diagrams of such sentences. Completing all of the sentences successfully provides an option to download and print a certificate of completion.
