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.
2 CHAPTER 1. EXERCISES 1.3 Phrase structure rules This task concerns phrase structure rules, also called rewrite rules. (i) What is the point of phrase structure rules? That is, why do we make use of phrase structure rules in addition to phrase structure trees? [2 points] (ii) Explain what the following three phrase structure rules say: [2 points]
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:
These advanced syntax tree diagram exercises are aimed at testing and enhancing your understanding of complex sentence structures and syntactic relationships. By analyzing and creating syntax tree diagrams, you will develop a strong grasp of how words and phrases interact within a sentence.
This unit introduces the basic vocabulary for tree diagrams. Tree diagrams are the notation that most syntacticians use to describe how sentences are organized in the mental grammar.
In order to yield the proper sequencing of elements, movements or affix hopping must apply accordingly: {s} moves across the first Auxiliary Have {s}, {en} moves across the second Auxiliary Be {en}, {ing} moves across the Main Verb read {ing}, yielding: (4) → The student have + {s} be + {en} read + {ing}
Here are some step-by-step instructions on how to analyze sentences and then draw a tree of them. Notice that before you start drawing, you should analyze the structure of the sentence! You are much more likely to draw it correctly that way.
