(1) The crazy giraffe behind that tree will chase the hungry lion
I've provided three Phrase Structure Grammars below in (i)-(iii). These three grammars will all successfully generate
the sentence in (1). However, the resulting structures that they generate have significant differences.
(i) PSG 1
S D Adj N P D N Aux V Det Adj N
(ii) PSG 2
S, NP Aux VP
NP D Adj N P Det N
VPVTD Adj N
(iii) PSG 3
S,,NP AuxP
AuxP Aux VP
VP,,VTNP
NP,,D(Adj) N (PP)
PP,,P NP
Task A
Draw the syntactic tree for the sentence in (1), first using PSG 1, then PSG 2, and finally PSG 3.(You should have
drawn three trees altogether.)
Task B?(())
Determine which PSG does a better job generating (1) and explain why it does a better job? (Hint: think about which
one is better in terms of constituency.)
