All phrases must minimally contain a [ ]
The elements that [ ] the Head specify the Head + Complement sequence
and we will accordingly refer to them as Specifiers.
XP is the [ ] of the Head (also called a double-bar projection,
sometimes written as X'')
while the X'-level is a [ ]
The Head itself is a [ ] zero bar projection ( or [ ])
Every [ ], then, has three levels of structure: X'', X', X.
Adjunct 역할 = grammatical function of a constituent that specifies the
[ ] of the situation expressed by a sentence.
Adjuncts are always sisters of [ ] categories in phrases, and have a
[ ] function.
Complements are always sisters of [ ].
a silly preposterous analysis of the sentence

maximal projection
bar-level / modifying
Heads
the property of being stackable differentiates Adjuncts on the one hand from
Complements
and Specifiers on the other. (phrases can in principle contain an unlimited number
of Adjuncts)
Lexical numbers are restricted in the number of Complements they can take
(rarely more than three),
while Specifiers are not generally not recursive.
functional
It appears that PP Adjuncts can be extraposed from their Heads more freely
than PP Complements.
appear = 자동사 (경동사)인 경우
affix hopping 정의
Under the affix movement the resultant inflected Verb remains within
[ ],

whereas under the V movement analysis the inflected V ends up as a
constituent of [ ].

(b) * Sally said that she returned my book, and [return my book] she - .
* Ralph says that he will clean his room, and [will clean his room] he - .
* Ralph says that he will clean his room meticulously, and [clean his room]
he will - meticuously.
ADVP must be moved along with the main verb and its Direct Object, and is
therefore inside [ ].
We brought - into the country six boxes of excellent French wine.
*I sent - a postcard my cousin from London.
*I sent a postcard to - yesterday my cousin from London.
Only the whole NP can be preposed for emphasis, not just part of the phrase.

What is the appropriate sentence fragment test for 1-(b)?
In [want / persuade] case, there is a synonymy between the active and

version he acts upon the doctor.

(a) John tries to be honest.
(b) John seems to be honest.
A control verb like try assigns a semantic role to its subject whereas a raising verb seem d
not assign any semantic role to its subject.
Since control verbs like try and hope require their subject to have agent role, and expletive
or there, which takes no semantic role, cannot function as their subject.
expletive it
idiomatic meaning.
sentient
is retained.
Since the raising predicate likely does not assign a semantic role to its subject, (a) and (b)
have more or less identical meanings.
The control predicate eager assigns a semantic role to its subject, and this forces (a) and
to differ semantically: in (a), it is the dentist who is eager to examine Pat, whereas in (b), it
Pat who is eager to be examined by the dentist.
expletive object
While the idiomatic reading is retained with the raising verb believed, it is lost with
the control verb persuaded.

Bernett, Pro
Intransitive raising verbs do not assign a thematic role to their subjects and so pleonastic
elements are semantically allowable subjects.
With raising predicates, expressions can retain their idiomatic interpretation. With control
predicates, the idiomatic interpretation is no longer possible.

Transitive verbs and prepositions assign [ ] to the [ ].

envious cannot case-mark their complement, thus the sentence is ruled out
by the case filter since the NP Miss Marple will not be assigned case.
Of-Insertion enables the complement NP to receive case.
The case assigner and the element to which case is assigned should
be adjacent.

Reduction of S relatives occurs by deleting the relative pronoun and a following
form of the verb be, leaving a [ ], [ ], or [ ].
A shark weighing over 400 pounds washed up on the beach.
A woman resembling your wife is sitting in front of me.
Postnominal modifiers with [ ] verbs in present participle form might be a
special type of reduced relative clause.
Alan finally came up with a good answer to that problem that was so tough to solve.
Omission is impossible. The relative pronoun is the subject of the relative clause,
and this sentence [ ].
The person for whom he bought the ring is none other than your sister.
Omission is impossible. The reason is that [ ],
Here is a chair (to sit on).
Here is a chair (on which to sit).
*Here is a chair (which to sit on).
In Infinitival Relative Clauses, a relative pronoun is possible only if the preposition
moves to the front; we cannot add relative pronouns to the stranded versions.
I am looking for an essay question [with which to challenge the students].
That's not the best area [to build a house in].
We need a freezer in which [to put the ice cream].

(A) The reports are boring. (B) The government prescribes the size of the reports.
만들 수 있는 문장 3개
Nonrestrictive relative clause can modify proper nouns, while restrictive
relatives cannot.
In IO and OP relatives, reduction can occur only in the patterns that have
the preposition stranded at the end of the clause.
of which POS relatives with stranded positions can be reduced. However,
POS relatives introduced by whose cannot be reduced.
stative
does not contain one of the features which permrit omission of the subject.
(a following form of be + a present participle, a past participle, or an
adjective followed by a prepositional phrase)
which violates the case filter. (관계대명사는 명사의 범주에 속하기 때문에
반드시 격을 할당 받아야 한다. )
격을 받아줄 NP가 없기 때문에 비문
When way or manner is the object of the preposition in, the preposition
must be moved and cannot be stranded.
Most phrasal prepositional verbs do not permit the elements following the
verb to be moved.
The conjunction than cannot move to the front of the clause with the
relative pronoun.
The reports which the government prescribes the size of are boring.
The reports of which the government prescribes the size are boring.
The reports the size of which the government prescribes are boring.

With stative verbs, the more indefinite the object in the by phrase is,
the more likely it is to be acceptable in its passive form.
When the focus is on the change of state, and the agent is irrelevant.
When the writer's or speaker's objective is to create an aura of mystery
or suspense.
When the subject is something so fragile or unstable that it can break,
change, dissolve, and so on.
When it is natural to expect change to occur.
When there are so many possible causes for a change of state.
X, In a middle verb sentence, a causer is implied but can't be expressed
in a by phrase.
X, In a middle verb sentence, the clause expresses a general state, not a
particular event.

Unpaired eargative verbs do not have transitive counterparts, thus they

When a verb is a for dative verb (bake, catch, find), only passives converted
from active sentences in the preposition pattern is grammatical.
