  That's beautiful. I'm in the US, and our Appalachian region was populated in the 19th century by Scottish immigrants. I grew up near there (but I'm not Scottish, sad to say!) and when I listened to Appalachians speaking, I always thought they had a pretty sing-song, rhythmic pace to their sentences. Not meandering but politely asking or suggesting: "You'uns a-fixin' to go..." or "If it wouldn't discomfit ya none, ya might could..." I might be imagining things but I feel as though I hear some of that sing-song quality here.

  Hello professor, thank you very much for the course! And I have some questions as follows: First, the substitution test shows that the preposional phrase is a constituecy, and it semantically refers to the location, time, manner, etc. But how can we tell that the preposition is the head? It seems like we can't check it by removing the components and leave the preposition alone, as sentences like *The book is on are ungrammatical too. And, checking the shared properties sounds great, but what property of the preposition can be shared with the phrase? Then, a related question is that, in some Asian languages like Japanese and Mongolian, the phrase that corresponds to a PP in English is generally formed with a noun (phrase) followed by a clitic which is conventionally considered the dative/locative case mark. A difference between that clitic and prepositions in European languages is that, it doesn't convey any spatial variations, such as what the words in, out, under, above do. (Instead, the spatial information is encoded with an additional noun, such as 'surface', 'bottom' combined with the kernal noun). In other words, there is even no typical preposition in such languages. Then, how should we deal with the structures of the PP-like phrases of them?

  So the definition characteristic of active or passive phrase is determined by how the subject is identified? If the subject is the author or speaker of the phrase (active) or pass if non introduced at the voice?

  #Help. Can anybody shed some light on the difference between N and NP? In "the collection of bicycles", what makes "collection" a N while bicycle is labled "NP"? Is it because "collection" is the head of the setence, and only the head of a noun phrase would be labled as "N", which makes other nouns in the sentense "NP"?

• 
  @hasutailiu53922 ай бұрын

  I think it's because in this case, we can't replace 'collection' with a more comlpex phrase. Even through we can add some adjectives, say, 'the enormous collection of bicycles', but the adjective should be rendered to another adjunct beneath 'the' but above 'collection'. However, I don't think the kernal of an NP is necessarily to be an N. For example, in the phrase 'the enormous collection of bicycles in Paris', 'collection of bicycles' serves the kernal of the whole phrase but is still an NP.

  @hasutailiu53922 ай бұрын

  Sorry, I just realized I was wrong with my second statement. Since you can add adjuncts after the kernal noun infinitely, such like 'the collection of bicycles for the public in Paris next week...', but you can never add another specifier before it. So I think the better way is to consider the other adjuncts sisters of the N‘, as in [ the [ [ [collection [of bicycles]] [in Paris] ] [next week] ] ]. Thus the kernal should be always a single noun

  Very tricky at first glance, but becomes clearer and what's more clears up many misunderstandings about the passive that you may have been taught at school or university. Thank Prof Pullum for an excellent grammar lesson on the types of passive. He really shows how useful and nuanced they can be.

  Are these verb phrases or adj-phrases? Resurrected Christ, given law, fallen angel? I assume the verbs are acting as adjectives, so they are adj phrases, right?

  Traditional grammar works pretty well in terms of categorizing verbs as action and in how they explain to people, especially to non-native speakers like me. I see no problem saying "to doubt, to admire, to know " are actions. Sure, they are not archtypical action like to run or to breathe, but they behave in ways that is pretty similar to other words. I'm trying to teach myself modern linguistics theory. so maybe my mind will change in the future, but for now, I don't see much benifits to take a stand in saying "receiver" of the "action".

  The audio's really great. However, the captions are too early by 7 seconds. So my EFL students with low English Proficiency weren't able to follow quite well. :) This playlist had been very helpful when I was in college, Thus, please fix the captions issue so that the video would be a blessing to even more students of language arts. Much love from Indonesia.

  Where do we draw the line? Do descriptivists have to acknowledge and accept things like 's and s (the possessive marker being used incorrectly) or they're/their/there being used interchangeably and devise new rules to allow them?

  So very interesting in regards to the "can be", "is", "are" matter. It is interesting to see how our meanings can be easily misconstrued by having poor syntax in our sentence structure. We may not be aware that our "ambiguous" meanings exist. I am starting to understand just how important syntax is in terms of effective communication. Thank you again for your wonderful presentations. I am looking forward to learning how to improve my grammar.
