Hi Everyone.
Is there anyone who is able to analyse a sentence in terms of form and function down to word level?
I'll give you an example of what I mean:
The boys like the girls
like = V:VP
the boys = S:NP --> where 'the' = determiner and 'boys' = Head:Noun
the girls = DO:NP --> where 'the' = determiner and 'girls' = Head:Noun
V = Verb
VP = Verb Phrase
S = Subject
NP = Noun Phrase
DO = Direct Object
I dealing with a very complex one right now, and I'm rather lost with some parts of it, so I hope that someone is familiar with this kind of analysis:-)
Regards Jay
