	''U'' ~~= {~~ ''~~Macbeth~~'', ''~~Banquo~~'' }		The HEAD value of the lexical verb, ''mistrust'', is ''verb''. In the VP, the lexical verb is the syntactic head of the phrase. According to the Head Feature Priniciple, the HEAD value of the mother node is the same as that of its head daughter, i.e., ''verb''. Since this VP is the headdaughter of the sentence, the sentence's HEAD value should also be the same, i.e., ''verb'' again.

	'~~'U'' = { ''Macbeth''~~, ~~''Banquo'' }~~		The VP is licenced as a head-complement structure. The constraint on head-complement structures requires that the head daughter have a non-empty COMPS list and the mother have an empty COMPS list.<br>(It is also required that the non-head daughters are identical to the elements on the head daughter's COMPS list, but this is not relevant for the question at hand.)

	~~''U'' = { ''Macbeth''~~, ~~''Banquo'' }~~		The Phonology Principle specifies that the PHON value of a mother is the concatenation of the PHON values of its daughter(s). Therefore, a element of the PHON value of a word in a sentence will always be part of the PHON values of every phrase that dominates this word. Since the overall sentence dominates all its component words, its PHON value comprises the PHON values of all words of this sentence.
