      It seems the content follows the chapter numbers in the following free book - www.ling.upenn.edu/~beatrice/syntax-textbook/ So, you could read about chapter 3 there

    Definitely the best syntax-lecture videos I've ever watched, but is there part 3?

  • @ArturoStojanoff
    @ArturoStojanoff Před 8 lety +12

    I can't help but notice that these videos have been uploaded before the videos which come before this one in the list, and that there is a gap in the list. Are the missing episodes going to be uploaded? I kinda wanted to binge watch them...

    These are so great videos! However, like others, I am also wondering why I can't find the preceding clips (if there are any). Also, can we expect that more videos on more advanced topics in syntax will come out soon?

    These videos look great! But I notice the ones up so far go from 4.1 to 5.2 -- are there any plans to put up parts 1, 2, or 3?

    Hi
    Linguistics and English Language at the University of Edinburgh, Could you explain to me why you use a triangle instead of a line to refer to a noun, verb etc. is there a difference between a line and a triangle?

    03:12 Is there a reason why the head is buried so deep down in the tree instead of being its root?
    I mean, why this structure in particular? Is there any deeper reason behind that?
    05:45 That's what I very often have problems with in this approach :q Looks like a better model is needed...

    #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"?

    • @hasutailiu5392
      @hasutailiu5392 Před 2 měsíci

      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.

    • @hasutailiu5392
      @hasutailiu5392 Před měsícem

      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
