Additional Exercises for Chapter 3: Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar

Basic syntactic notions

Parts of speech

Determine the part of speech of the words in the sentences.
Use the following part of speech labels: A, Adv, Conj, Comp, Det, N, P, V

a. Alex/

talked/

to/

my/

best/

friend/

.
b. You/

might/

suspect/

that/

Pat/

is/

a/

genius/

.
c. The/

title/

of/

a/

book/

largely/

determines/

whether/

it/

will/

be/

successful/

or/

a/

flop/

.


Feel free to send feedback on this exercise to Manfred Sailer.

Syntactic categories

Determine the syntactic categories of the following groups of words in the sentences.
Use the following labels: AP, AdvP, NP, PP, VP. Write "-" if the group of words does not form a constitutent.
Example: [S: Pat [VP: will [VP: wait [PP: for Alex]]]]

a. [

Alex [

talked [

to [

my best friend]]]]
b. [

[

The president] [

announced [CP: that [

there [

will [

be [

no further taxes]]]]]]].

Lexical entries as Attribute-Value Matrix

Provide the required information on the lexical properties of the underlined words in the following sentences.
Note:

  • Put a minus ("-") if a slot should not receive any filling
  • Use det, noun, prep or verb for the HEAD values.
