How to make a syntax tree (Hand drawn and digital)

Syntax trees are an important part of linguistics, and if you want to study Syntax, you will have to learn how to make them.

I have wanted a good tree diagram generator for ages to look at ambiguous sentences. So useful to know.

[@FingtamLanguages]

Glad to help!

[@DGaryGrady]

Very helpful! I was familiar with the concept of syntax trees but never looked into how to make them graphically. If you'll forgive one obsessively trivial point: A / is by convention a forward slash (or just a slash). The much less common \ is a backslash.

[@FingtamLanguages]

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad to hear the video was helpful. And yes, I didn't even think about whether it was a slash or a backslash. I think I just call them all backslash by default. haha

[@putramatebean4696]

I am also familiar with this tree- diagram,but the sentences used as the examples are always positive,would you please draw some Tree diagrams by using interrogative? The sentences below Will be the examples.thank you

สวัสดีครับ (Sa-wad-dee krub) I am studying linguistics by myself, your VDO helps me a lot. Your explanation is clear and easy to follow. Oh. my name is pronounced Si-Ri-Boon. I am your student. Thanks for good work.

[@universitylink]

Thanks for the videos. We have been doing the same chat trees for both syntax trees and swahili language has the same format like this only the differences we can have the following ways
1. By using trees as you have done
2. By using arrows
3.By using bracketing
4.By using diagram or table form
Example of arrows:
S-NP and vp
Np-Det and N
Det-the
N-dog
Vp-v and Np
V- eats
Np- Det and N
Det-the
N-food

[@dunzek943]

@@FingtamLanguages Same here. I didn't know natural human languages can be described using syntax trees, so this was very cool coming from a computing background. After all, languages are all about expressing ideas, whether through communication or through instruction. Computer-wise, I imagine it's very important for studying natural language processing and AI (Grammarly, etc.).

Please also teach us the auxiliary syntax.

[@danielnugroho6506]

Bro, thanks for the crystal-clear explanation. However, on minute 8:39, can "that (right after the word everything)" be the conjunction, as it has the function to explain more about that, such like "which"? Hopefully, you will reply soon. Fist bump from the Indonesian English teacher.

[@indrashishbiswas897]

Better than my professor tbh

[@fredmeyeriii7858]

This is great, even if it isn't in Esperanto.

[@FingtamLanguages]

Thanks Fred! :)

[@MiserableImmortality]

How do you decide it's a verb phrase when the phrase contains both a verb and a noun? Why is it not a noun phrase? I've been trying to learn this for a month and I'm still lost.

[@ameenalyemen6705]

Thanks a lot.

[@FingtamLanguages]

Thank you! :)

[@dissanayakevidura]

Well, you said that at 8.35 that "everything" is a noun, so I am confused about that word being used as a noun. If my memory serves me correctly, "everything" is a pronoun. However, while drawing parse trees I'm not sure if you are supposed to use different terminology. Therefore, can you please explain why?

[@nuraznina1910]

Hi, your video is very helpful ! So it really is my first time of knowing about complementizers¿ and I have studied on it a bit and according to my understanding, (correct me if I'm wrong, English is not my mother tongue language 😅) complementizers are different to auxiliary verbs. So, I would love it if you could enlighten me on how to recognize auxiliary verbs in doing syntax tree. :) Thanks in advance 😊

[@nuraznina1910]

Oh yeah, just to confirm, determiners are no different to articles right? Or am I wrong ? 😅
