Document Summary
We reviewed constituency and structural relations and proceeded to the beginnings of x- Tests for constituency (you should use all four to be safe) Pronouns may lead you to a false positive. Therefore, maybe avoid sentence fragment and coordination tests as they are the most likely to do this. The four all work really well when searching for noun phrases. Aunts govern all nieces so long as a sister is not interfering. What you immediately asymmetrically c-command is also what you. For the context of this class (in order to be consistent with the book) we will consider these tps (tense phrases) instead. Noun phrase is composed of optional determiner, optional recursive adjectives, obligatory noun, and optional recursive prepositional phrases. The one replacement test" is a subform of the pro-form substitution test. Instead of using he/she/it, we use one" to substitute the constituent we"re testing.
