Practice
EXERCISE 1: Instructions: The sentences below are instances of structural ambiguity.
a) Give a paraphrase of two possible readings for each of them
b) Draw a tree structure for each reading.
1. The police shot the terrorists with rifles
 Reading 1: … The police shot the terrorists HOLDING RIFLES
On this reading the PP with rifles is a modifier of the NP ‘the terrorists’
 Tree Structure: ……………………………………………………………………
 Reading 2 : The police USED RIFLES to shoot the terrorists
On Reading 2, the PP with rifles is an in Adjunct, an instrumental Adverbial
 Tree Structure …………………………………………………………………………
EXERCISE 2: Instructions:
a) What is the status of the underlined clauses in the examples below ?Are they complements or Modifiers ?
b) Justify your answer.
c) Draw the tree structure of the COMPLEMENT structure of the verb BELIEVE.
A. I cannot believe the rumour [ that John has died ]
B. I cannot believe the rumour [ that is circulating in our neighbourhood ]
 Constituent status: that John has died is a : Complement Clause (CP)
 Justification
Arg. 1: As a complement, it completes the meaning of the head noun RUMOUR semantically. Thus, it cannot be omitted ( deleted):
I cannot believe the rumour. ( the rumour about what ? As it stands this sentence is incomplete )
Arg. 2:If indeed this constituent is a complement clause, then we expect THAT to be a Complementiser, and NOT a relative pronoun. Replacing THAT with WHICH should result in ungrammatical sentence, which is indeed the case:
* I cannot believe the rumour WHICH John has died.
EXERCISE 3:Constituent status: that is circulating in our neighbourhood is a Modifier/Relative/Adjective Clause (CP) Justification
Arg. 1: THAT is a Relative Pronoun, NOT a complementiser. It introduces a relative clause modifying the Noun RUMOUR, the antecedent of the RP THAT. The latter originates in the subject position of the clause :
I cannot believe the rumour, the rumour is circulating
(THAT)
Arg. 2:If our hypothesis is correct, then the assumed RP pronoun CAN be replaced by another RP, namely WHICH as shown by the following :
I cannot believe the rumour WHICH is circulating in our neighbourhood.

EXERCISE 4. Instructions: Provide a syntactic analysis of the following sentence by:
a) assigning it a D-structure representation
b) Applying the needed transformations to generate its S-structure
c) Drawing a tree structure to represent it.
What has John claimed that he can do ?
 D-structure: [+wh] [+Q] John has claimed [ that [he can do WHAT ] ]
 Transformations:
Transformation 1: YES?NO Question or I-to-C
[+wh] has John e claimed [ that [he can do WHAT ] ]
Transformation 2: Wh- Question [WHAT ] has John e claimed [ e [ that [he can do e ] ]
