Document Summary
In lecture we reviewed our homework before resuming the notes where they left off: the ambiguity of the french teacher and the lack of ambiguity in the french german. Teacher or its counterpart, the german french teacher. we used x-bar theory and more tests to determine structures for these and the reasons for these. We identify n" by using the one replacement test. If the reason why the french teacher is solely due to the different meanings that the word french takes on, then the french german teacher should offer the same type of ambiguity. It is not ambiguous, it solely means the teacher from france that teaches german. What this fact about these types of phrases tell us is: The ambiguity is not only due to lexical/meaning reasons of the actual words, but it is in fact, due to structural differences. Use the one replacement test and replace teacher with one".
