Prepositional Phrases: explaining the complex annotation
The textbook contains a c-structure rule for VP like the following:
1. VP → V PP
↑=↓ (↑ (↓ PCASE)) = ↓
Presently, xlfg cannot handle complex annotations like that of the PP. Therefore, we will simplify the rule as follows:
2. VP → V PP
↑=↓ (↑OBL) = ↓
This means that all PPs that combine with verbs bear the grammatical function OBL(IQUE).
2. translates into xlfg as follows:
3. VP → V PP
2. {
3. ↑=↓1;
4. (↑OBL) = ↓
5. }
