Linguistics 113							Spring 2007

Assignment 6
Due Wednesday April 18


The focus of this assignment is on phrase structure.  Carefully present
the structures for the following sentences:

	(1)  My uncle's favorite monkey's tail fell off.

	(2)  The mean old farmer with a pitchfork became very angry at his mule.

	(3)  His irrational fear of turtles rendered Harvey
	     incapable of speech for a moment.

I don't think there are any interesting transformational goings-on.

Discuss any Phrase Structure rules you need, as well as any subcategorizations.
