constituent structure

The constituent structure of sentences is identified using constituency tests.

Like the constituency-based tree however, constituent structure is acknowledged.

Constituency tests are diagnostics employed to identify the constituent structure of sentences.

Homogeneity is a sameness of constituent structure.

This fact casts doubt on the usefulness of coordination as a test for identifying the constituent structure of sentences.

Most generative theories (although not all of them) assume that syntax is based upon the constituent structure of sentences.

The marking structure contains additional categorial information beyond what is provided by the constituent structure.

According to my dictionary, a 'phrase marker' is "a representation of the immediate constituent structure of a linguistic construction."

Parentheticals and discontinuous constituent structure.

These tests manipulate some portion of a sentence and based on the result, clues are delivered about the immediate constituent structure of the sentence.

The central syntactic relation is that of dependency between words; constituent structure is not recognized except in the special case of coordinate structures.

The National Executive brings together the Party Administration as well as elected representatives of other constituent structures and co-ordinators.

The General Conference is largely made up of delegates from the Party's other constituent structures and is the Party's highest organ.

The end result of IC-analysis is often presented in a visual diagrammatic form that reveals the hierarchical immediate constituent structure of the sentence at hand.

In addition, the United States Government, through its constituent structures, including the Central Intelligence Agency, lent direct and indirect support to some illegal state operations.

Everett, Daniel (1988) On Metrical Constituent Structure in Piraha Phonology.

In syntax, lexical items are merged externally, building argument representations; next, the internal merge induces movement and creates constituent structures where each is part of a larger unit.

Two illustrations of the manner in which constituency tests deliver clues about constituent structure and thus about the correct IC-analysis of a given sentence are now given.

The analysis of constituent structure is associated mainly with phrase structure grammars, although dependency grammars also allow sentence structure to be broken down into constituent parts.

A morphological structure of a morphological unit is a triple consisting of a morphological constituent structure, marking structure, and intonation structure.

The result is a systematic mismatch between syntactic and phonological constituent structure, such that on the surface, each prenominal word appears to be inflected to agree with the following noun.

Thus while the coordination test is widely employed as a diagnostic for constituent structure, it is faced with major difficulties and is therefore perhaps the least reliable of all the tests mentioned.
