Sir, thank You for answering my question about the trees. I've got more:1. What's the difference between an oblique object & indirect object?2. Although he studied hard, John failed the exam. Why not "Although John studied hard, he failed he exam"? 3. In the sentence "Also nouns can have valency" , why is also at the beginning of the sentence? Also usually comes after the first auxialiary or modal verb & before the main verb, so the correct syntax is "nouns can also have". Is there a new rule about "also"?
First of all, I thank you for offering an invaluable resource for free. Second, a question: is "Teachers get sex and drug advice" really a case of structural ambiguity? The ambiguity seems to hinge on the two senses of the lexeme 'get' ('receive' vs 'understand' ).
My God! Again a final exam and again I'm here. You are teaching me more than my linguistic instructors. Your videos are really a great source.

Nevermind, I understand now. The structural ambiguity arises from whether 'sex' is modifying 'advice' or simply functioning as a noun.
Hi, I am asking if the sentence (john bought a flower for mary )is ambigous or not?
I don't think it is ambiguous
