General syntactic notions

Watch the following video (33') on the basic step in a syntactic analysis as we need it in our course.

This is a more general video (12', produced in 2008) on basic steps in a syntactic analysis. Note, only steps 1-5 apply to our course (i.e. the first 9'30 of the video). Step 6 is based on a different syntactic theory.

The next video (14') introduces the way we talk about syntactic trees. Please watch it.

Towards an HPSG analysis

The video (21') introduces the way we will write down lexical entries in our course.

Analysis of simple sentences

The video (37') shows the analysis of the following two sentences:

(i) Duncan died.

(ii) Macbeth killed Duncan.
