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.
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:
1 Drawing Trees: Practice. Draw trees for the following sentences. You should fully expand all XPs with more than one word|only use triangles for 1-word XPs! Remember that your constituency tests can guide your tree representations|there should be a node re ecting every constituent (X, X0, and XP) in the tree.
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.
(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]
Thinking back to Section 6.1, one way of thinking about the goal of syntactic theory is that it’s aiming to account for what languages users know about which sentences are grammatical, and which sentences are ungrammatical.
A1.7 Draw a Tree Step-by-Step. 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.
