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:
XP -> 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]]
Schema 2: The head licenses two complements
This schema licenses the following structure:
XP -> X + COMPS
Examples:
- [VP [H show][C me][C Frankfurt]]
- [VP [H give][C the book][C to the student]]
- [VP [H put][C the book][C on the table]]
Head-Specifier Phrases
A head-specifier phrase can be formed by combining a sign [= the head daughter] with a second sign [= the non-head daughter] whose syntactic category can be unified with the syntactic category on the word’s spr list:
This schema licenses the following structures:
- NP -> D NP
- [NP [SPR the][H student]]
- [NP [SPR those][H apples]]
- S -> NP VP
- [NP [SPR Lilly][H smokes]]
- [NP [SPR Lilly][H likes Fido]]
- [NP [SPR The student][H showed a cat to Fido]]
Examples:
- [PP [H of][C Lilly]]
- [AP [H fond][C of Lilly]]
- [VP [H likes][C Fido]]
- [VP [H speaks][C to Fido]]
