    5:37 - how would the movement and tree work for the sentence “Doesn’t he dance?” or “Does not he dance?”
    You used “does he not dance” to justify this movement but don’t these other (more common) variations break your argument?

    How does it work with a sentence like "Doesn't he dance?"
    Furthermore, where is the inflection of "do"+"es" -> "does" represented? By an IP you left out?

      Does he not dance? -> doesn't he dance?
      I'm not sure if it has to be explained by syntax.

    Thank you for your helpful video lectures,
    Can we disambiguate the following ambiguous sentence by using a tree
    ?
    "You do not dance"
    It can be a declarative sentence or an imperative sentence having an overt subject.

  • @MT38618
    @MT38618 3 года назад

    So, what is the syntactically correct form? DOESN´T HE DANCE ? or DOES HE NOT DANCE ? In questions , the DO moves from T head to C head , but the problem is the negation adverb NOT ; does it move along with the auxiliary DO or does it stay put ? I see it in a tree that only DO moves up to C and NOT stays put . Question is : CAN THE AUXILIARY "NOT" MOVE ALONG WITH "DO" OR NOT ? How would the correct tree be then ?

  • @coconutty030
    @coconutty030 Год назад

    so is "do" its own "auxiliary phrase"? because in a sentence like "did you dance", T lowering to V leaving an empty T which then has a "do" in it will result in something like "do you danced" which is not grammatical?

  • @hasutailiu5392
    @hasutailiu5392 3 года назад +1

    Thank you for the lecture. A question: I don't know whether the sentence like "Does not he dance" or "Doesn't he dance" is grammatically correct since I'm not a native English speaker. But if it is, does it mean we moved the tense mark (does) and negation mark (not) together to the position of C? Components should not be moved together into one place, right?

    • @yiqi8526
      @yiqi8526 2 года назад

      C can only have one head, so we can only move one thing, and according to the previous video, we move the closest word which is next T, up to C, which in this case, is DOES

    can you teach me how to draw the tree diagram of the sentence "Don't let him leave" in an IP one. I really don't know how to construct this kind of imperative sentence. Thanks.

  • @joohyunkim7762
    @joohyunkim7762 Год назад +1

    Hi, quick question.
    What about a question like “Don’t you dance?” In this case, dummy do moved up with the negation but left the verb behind. And that confuses me because in the tree you drew for the sentence “You do not dance,” the verb phrase is the complement of the negation which can’t be separated. How does “Don’t you dance?” work?

    • @Trevtutor

      do+neg combine first before movement

    I currently use Andrew Carnie's "Syntax" textbook. Can you recommend me some other good books for studying syntax? Also: if you have any book recommendations for linguistics in general I'd like to know too.

    • @Trevtutor
      @Trevtutor  7 лет назад +2

      "Core Syntax: A Minimalist Approach" by David Adger is pretty comprehensive for current minimalist syntax. Of course, there are many other frameworks of syntax, but I do not have a good book list.
      I recommend looking at LING courses at different universities in the topics you're interested in and looking at a syllabus or two. You'll get a better idea of what universities use as far as texts.

    So for the sentence "does he not dance?" "do" gets a present tense under T, so there is a [-past] under T, then "do" in agreement with "he" changes into "does" and moves up to C. Have I understood correctly?

  • @hjh3337

    great video. do you still put [+tns] or [+finite] under T for the sentence "he does not dance"?

    • @Trevtutor
      @Trevtutor  7 лет назад +1

      "do" gets present tense under T, so there would be [-past] under T.

    • @teachingenglish3783

    Thank you for your lecture, It helped me a lot. Can I ask you a question? It’s about negation, but not about the very topic you deal with in this video. In a sentence like “John seems not to be that smart.” To what node ‘not’ belongs? According to what I learned, it should be attached to a specifier position of VP. However, it results in “*John seems to not be that smart.”, which is totally ungrammatical. ‘To’ belongs to T node. How ‘not’ can precede T node?
