    Do you use a certain kind of software when you draw your trees ? Btw very good video, it’s interesting to see how a langage other than one’s mother tongue works since in french we don’t use TP but IP then VP (with VP as sister of I’). When we have a simple form of a verb, we put the conjugated verb under "I" and a trace under "V" and when there is a composed form, the auxiliary is under "I" and the participle is put under "V"

    • @yasminhando
      @yasminhando 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I was thinking the same thing, in portuguese we use IP for finite verbal inflections, we can use T to mark tense and Agr to mark the agreement, but both T and Agr are "inside" the IP, maybe (I think) I'm actually not really sure anymore lol

  • @oldisgold4800
    @oldisgold4800 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    in the second example you simply write he as the dp of T,,whereas its dp of vp and after getting the trace it has to move up in the position of dp of Tp

    Hello..how do I know when to use cp and tp

  • @yichen3890
    @yichen3890 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well I'm confused about the differences between TPs and CPs now... Can I generalise that CP is a sentence starting with 'that', 'if' 'whether' or 'null', and CP is usually on a higher level than a TP if they are both dominated by the same VP? (I got it wrong when I tried to draw a tree for [that James is wrong]).
    Thank you in advance!

    • @lepredator189
      @lepredator189 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      CPs dominate TPs, which in turn dominate VPs (a C-T-V order). C = complementizer, a closed set of head items that 1. turn the TPs they dominate into nominalised complements that are amenable to replacement tests (like the one- and so-replacements), which means they allow for embedding extra information inside a clause, and 2. 'modify' a whole clause from the outside e.g. turning a statement into a question. Examples of C would be: that, if, wh- items, the +Q feature. You're on the right track.

    I don't know why did you write [+past] for the second tense but you wrote the verb be in the present form? Why didn't you write it in the past form?

  • @loekvdn9217
    @loekvdn9217 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What is the reason that T and T and VP are not switched when the tense is indicated with a suffix? And what if the verb also indicates an aspect, like in Russian?

    • @iloTani
      @iloTani 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      i believe if it were switched, the T would come all the way after the complements and adjuncts of the VP - try the sentence “he walked in the park” like this- if they were swapped “-ed” would come all the way after “in the park”

    Just a little confusion. When is it [-Q] and when [+Q] for C? Why is it [-Q] here?
    And in the last diagram for the sentence, should it not be "was" under V becaue the T is [+PAST]? Thank you.

    • @Trevtutor
      @Trevtutor  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Q occurs if it's a question.
      It is "was", just not necessarily written as "was". +past + "is" will be produce "was".

    • @Glisern
      @Glisern 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not in a syntax tree following x-bar theory. The tense information must be in something, and it would sound weird/wrong to say SP -> S', -> S. right? So in this theory every sentence begins as a CP, not a TP. The only thing is that CP's are silent on the main clauses, so you just begin drawing the TP, or the IP as it's also called.

  • @denizsarkaya5410
    @denizsarkaya5410 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Okay, I have 2 questions:
    1. I am a native Turkish speaker and I don't think Turkish makes a difference between past/non-past or future/non-future tenses. We don't have any auxiliary verbs to indicate tenses, they are all morphemes. So, how do we give tense information under T?
    2. Do we still need to write down "[-Q]" even if we already wrote "that" or "∅"?

    • @ninjasaga4703
      @ninjasaga4703 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well turkish is one of the few languages that has both a past and a future tense form. And I came here to ask the same thing as well. Probably though we use + tense for whatever the tense is.

    • @denizsarkaya5410
      @denizsarkaya5410 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@ninjasaga4703 It's been 2 years so I forgot that I asked this question haha. Right now (quite literally) I'm writing a thesis on Turkish verbal inflectional morphology and after reading countless papers written on the subject, I believe I can answer my own question:
      Turkish seems to be a past/non-past language as well. What we call the "future tense" marker might actually be analyzed as an aspect/mood marker instead. Turkish has only two genuinely verbal simple forms: -DI and -sA, the definite past and the conditional respectively.
      If you are interested in the subject, I suggest reading Kornfilt (specifically "On Copular Clitic Forms in Turkish", 1996) and Yavaş ("The Turkish Future Marker", 1980).
