Types of Phrases
Head-Complement Phrases
A head-complement phrase can be formed by combining a word [= the head daughter] with 1 or 2 signs [= the non-head daughter(s)] whose syntactic categories can be unified with the syntactic categories on the word’s comps list.
Schema 1: The head licenses a single complement
This schema licenses the following structure:
X -> X + COMPS
Examples:
- [PP [H of][C Lilly]]
- [AP [H fond][C of Lilly]]
- [VP [H likes][C Fido]]
- [VP [H speaks][C to Fido]]
