TYPES OF PHRASES REPRESENTING THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF PHRASES 12/5/2016

Types of phrases- syntactic categories of lexical phrases Noun phrase (NP): A phrase whose Head is a noun or pronoun, optionally accompanied by a set of modifiers (determiners, adjectives/adj phrases, prepositional phrases). NP = …N… Verb phrase (VP): Composed of the predicate sentence element of a Sentence. Functions to provide information about the subject of the sentence. VP = …V… 22/5/2016

AP = …A… Prepositional phrase (PP): A phrase with a preposition as its Head, often followed by a noun phrase. PP = …P… 32/5/2016

REPRESENTING THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF PHRASES FIRST PHRASE STRUCTURE RULE (Specifier Rule) XP  (YP) X’, where YP is the specifier, and X’ is the intermediate level between the phrase level and the word level. (Constituent daughters of X’ are in Complement relationship with each other) In English, the specifier is on the left. 42/5/2016

REPRESENTING THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF PHRASES SECOND PHRASE STRUCTURE RULE (Complement Rule) X’  X (WP), where X is the Head and WP is a complement of X. In English, the complement is on the right. 52/5/2016

X’  X (WP1)(WP2)….., where X is the Head and WP is a complement of X. In English, the complement is on the right. 232/5/2016
