Complement Clauses
Exercise 8.1 (based on section 5.1 of the textbook)
- Go to https://xlfg.labri.fr/.
- Open your latest grammar or start with a copy of Grammar5-Ex 7.3.
- Add the words in the following sentences:
(1) Oscar thinks that Sarah likes musicals
(2) Oscar enquires whether Sarah likes musicals.
Implement the following:
- that and whether belong to the part of speech C (= complementizer).
- Complementizers head CPs.
- CPs take two daughers: a C and an IP. The two daughters are co-heads of the CP.
- You need to add a new VP rule which allows a VP to consist of a V and a CP. The CP bears the GF COMP.
- Make any further changes that are necessary to obtain exactly the f-structure (10) on p. 101 for (1). For sentence (2), you should obtain an f-structure which is identical to that of sentence (1), with the exception that the CLTYPE of (2) should be INTER.
Check what your grammar predicts for the following examples:
(3) *Oscar thinks whether Sarah likes musicals (4) *Oscar enquires that Sarah likes musicals
If your grammar licenses these examples, then add information to it that makes it impossible to derive a well formed f-structure for them.
Hint: think about the function of each of the complementizers!
