    This is one of the most helpful videos I have seen in my university career. There should be more of those kind of videos, there's almost nothing online about those topics. Syntax can be quite complicated but she explained everything so cearly. Thank you very much, we need more of this!

    Your voice is clearly that of a real teacher. There is a charm in your voice that attracts the students and encourages them to learn one of the driest branch of linguistics- The Syntax. Your voice has removed my worries and confusions about syntax. Thanks a lot ma'am. If possible, I would like you to lecture more on other topics of linguistics as well. Thanking you a lot.

    Thanks for your lectures.
    I have some questions:
    - Why do you not allign the superficial structure? Is this important?
    - Why did you included each new modifier (PP) above the VP and not under it?
    - Is this analysis based on Chomysk's assumptions?

    Does this apply to english or all languages as such? English being one of the late-stage languages, adapted, simplified form of pre-existing languages and grammatical structures ...

    The "all" quantifier and "both" are the only words that can float like that (the workers may both come) but "some" "every" "each" "many" "few" cannot appear in those "trace" positions, there is no "the workers can many come"

    2:32 modals only have finite forms
    Could one consider "have to" (for "must") and "be able to" (for "can") as modals?

    I wonder how I would mark a cumulation of different verbs in a tree structure. For example, a sentence containing multiple verbs classified in x-bar-theory as inflectional like "They would have been gone if [...]". Would we have to add multiple IPs in order to accommodate all the verbs? And what about subordinate clauses headed by to-infinitival VP- complements? Take for example a sentence like "John seems to love Mary." Because all sentences have to be IPs, I assume we'd have in the matrix clause alone a VP headed by "seem" embedded in an IP headed by "Present tense". Successively, we'd add another IP to the VP as complement (since the subordinate clause clearly is a complement of "seem"). This IP takes in the specifier-position a trace of the raised subject we now find in the superordinate clause. The complement position would then be filled by the inflectional "to" (since this seems to be what marks the tenseless subclause), to the I', then, we'd attach the last VP. Is that a correct analysis?

    • @JoeJoseGiuseppe
      @JoeJoseGiuseppe 8 лет назад

      +Linguaphile I include Auxiliary Phrases (AuxP) to analyse different auxiliaries (for the imperfective, for the perfective). This is what Radford does. I think your analysis of "seem" is correct but I got lost. This is ana analysis that does not show everything: [IP seem [IP to John love Mary]]. John moves to spec-IP [IP John seems [IP to [VP trace love Mary]. I hope you find this useful. By the way, I'm not an expert.

    Thank you very much.. Sentence structure - S has VP which intern has VP(with V and Pron) plus ADV(with ADV ADV)

    Is it not somehow strange to call "Donald" an agent with respect to the main verb "forget" when the whole point of forgetting is that it happens unconsciously, while an agent implies intentionality?
