Making our grammar more similar to the textbook system

The following rules are a slightly simplified version of the c-structure rules from pages 33 and 35 of the textbook. The rules are simplified, so as not to introduce too many new ideas at once. We will eventually use the full set of rules.



DP → D NP; DP → NP;

IP → DP Ibar; Ibar → I VP; Ibar → VP;

NP → N; NP → AP NP;

PP → P DP;

VP → V; VP → V DP; VP → V PP; VP → V DP DP; VP → V DP PP;

// The following is a pseudo-rule that is supposed to recognize all categories. Do NOT change or delete it!

Const → CP|Cbar|DP|Dbar|IP|Ibar|NP|PP|VP;
