2 Handout 2/a
3 Handout 2/b 1. Indicate which of the italicised strings in the sentences below can be replaced by a pronoun. a. Joan is slimming b. The poor thing must have been pretty desperate c.

You can rely on my help entirely, naturally b. *You can rely on my help naturally, entirely (3) a.

Assuming that the following sentences are ill-formed (and hence can be used only for humorous effect, for example), say why they are ill-formed. a. *Could you turn off the fire and on the light? b. *Your mother won t put (and your wife is fed) up with your disgusting behaviour c. *I know the truth, and that you are innocent d. *A nuclear explosion would wipe out plant life and out animal life e. *He ran down the road and down the President
4 Handout 3 Verb Phrases: Types of modifier Modifier Maximality Principle Non-head constituents are maximal projections, i.e., phrases (XPs). Compare buy and put: (1) a. John will buy the book on Tuesday. b. John will put the book on the table. both buy and put are followed by two modifiers, an NP and a PP, in the sentences in (1), BUT: the NP is obligatory and must be closer to the verb in both cases, the PP is obligatory with put but not with buy buy forms one constituent with the NP, put doesn t What category is this constituent? an intermediate projection of the verb, a verbal phrase but not a Verb Phrase; let s call it V (V-bar); do so, then, is a pro-v the bracketed constituents in (4) are also V-bars The resulting representation: Is there a difference in meaning/status/behaviour between the book and on Tuesday, between on Tuesday and on the table? (2) a.*john will buy on Tuesday. b.*john will put on the table. the book is obligatory in both cases (3) a. John will buy the book. b.*john will put the book. on Tuesday can be omitted, on the table cannot (4) a. John will [buy the book on Tuesday], and Paul will do so as well. b. John will [put the book on the table], and Paul will do so as well. the bracketed constituents can be substituted for by do so (5) a. John will [buy the book] on Tuesday, and Paul will do so on Thursday. buy the book forms one constituent, and is of the same category as buy the book on Tuesday, since it can be substituted for by do so b.*john will [put the book] on the table, and Paul will do so on the chair. the same is NOT true of put the book (6) a. *John will buy on Tuesday the book b. *John will put on the table the book the book must immediately follow the verb In sum: two complements The complement rule: V V XP i.e. the complement is sister to the head The adjunct rule: V V XP i.e. the adjunct is sister and daughter of V The adjunct rule is recursive: the same category appears at the two sides of the arrow, i.e. the output of the rule can serve as part of the input of the same rule. The adjunct rule can apply over and over again.

6 Handout 4 Are there any constituents within the NP? (1) The king of England opened the Parliament. Independent occurrence (in certain contexts): (2) He became king of England. Structural parallelism: (3) a. the king of England b. the English king (Simple) coordination: (4) Who would defy the king of England and ruler of the Empire?

The specifier rule: XP (YP) X Right Node Raising: (5) He was the last (and some people say the best) king of England. Pronominalisation: (6) The present king of England is more popular than the last one. What is the category of this constituent? Another N, NP?

Types of Inflections: In general: INFL = [+/- Tense, +/- AGR] [+ Tense, + AGR] Eng finite clauses [- Tense, - AGR] Eng non-finite clauses [+ Tense, - AGR]? [- Tense, + AGR] Hu inf: Meg kell látnom. In English: INFL: - verbal inflections: -s, -ed - pre-infinitival to - modals: will, would, shall, should, can, could, may, might, must plus:- aspectual Auxiliaries, by movement from their original V node: be [PASS/PROGR], have [PERF] (in fact, the verb be always behaves as an auxiliary) INFL: non-lexical or functional head, because it does not dominate open class lexical heads; therefore, IP is a functional projection Exercise: Draw phrase markers for the following sentences: Mary will cook dinner. Mary did cook dinner. Mary cooked dinner. Mary should have cooked dinner. Mary has cooked dinner. (C) Complementisers as heads Complementiser: subordinating conjunction; introduces clauses which function as a complement of a V, N or A; a functional head that turns a "sentence" into a complement clause (12) a.
