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

caption

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]]
