    Extra Syntax Practice

    November 4, 2011

    Try drawing tree structures for the following sentences using the phrase structure rules
    below:

    CP  C S S  NP VP VP  VP PP
    NP  (D) N’ S  CP VP VP  VP CP
    N’  N PP  P NP VP  V (NP)
    N’  A N’ PP  P S VP  Aux VP
    N’  N’ PP α  α and α
    N’  N’ CP
    Key to More Practice:
    (1) The gigantic yellow bee worried Maxine.
    The first noun phrase in this sentence (the gigantic yellow bee) contains a noun phrase with a
    determiner (the) and two adjectives (gigantic, yellow). The two adjectives each modify a N’ level
    in the noun phrase.
