2[blank_start]All[blank_end] languages have content and function words. The content words always include [blank_start]nouns and verbs[blank_end]. The function words show [blank_start]relationships among[blank_end] the content ones.
- AAll

4Which of these apply when you're thinking of grammar as something that makes you a more effective writer?
- AThat grammar is just the means to the end of getting your language to accomplish what you're trying to do.

- ARichtig
- BFalsch
6In syntax a [blank_start]constituent[blank_end] is a phrase and these constituents can play varying roles in a sentence like subject or [blank_start]object[blank_end].
- Aconstituent
- Bpart
- Cobject
- Dpreposition
7To a linguist, a sentence is a [blank_start]clause[blank_end], so what we call a sentence might be [blank_start]multiple[blank_end] sentences to a linguist.
- Aclause
- Bphrase
- Cword
- Dmultiple
- Ehalves of
8[blank_start]Generative grammar[blank_end] is the rules for creating deep structure sentences.
- AGenerative grammar
- BStructural linguistics
- CLingostructure rules
9How do deep and surface structures differ?
- AThe deep structure is the underlying meaning and the surface structure is how it manifested.
- BWe see surface structures but the deep structure must be inferred.
- CKids learn deep structures before surface ones.
- DDeep structures are always simple statements but surface structures can be a variety of things like passive and imperative.
- EKids learn surface structures first.
- FDeep structures are always passive sentences but surface structures are simple statements
10When is it not clear which deep structure a surface structure came from?
- AWhen the surface structure can be manifested as more than one type of sentence
- BWhen the sentence can come from more than one deep structure but the context did not specify which
- CWhen the deep structure was originally in past tense
11When a deep structure is manifested into a surface structure, we call that [blank_start]transformation[blank_end].
- Atransformation
- Bblending
- Cspliting
- Dsending
12Why does generative grammar give every sentence an auxiliary at the DS level?
- ABecause every sentence has an auxiliary when in question or negative form.
- BBecause generative grammar writes rules for superficial structure.
- CBecause when we speak sentences we faintly pronounce the auxiliary even if it isn't there.
13When defining phrase structure rules, a [blank_start]counterexample[blank_end] is when you find a sentence that cannot be created with your rules (e.g. the thing with, "often, have teachers taught engaging linguistics lessons?" We needed to modify the rule to say [blank_start]adverb[blank_end] phrases must be in the predicate.)
- Acounterexample
- Batypical example
- Cundesirable example
- Dadverb
- Everb
- Fnoun
14Complete the GG rule for making questions out of deep structures:
To change a [blank_start]statement[blank_end] into a question, move the [blank_start]first[blank_end] auxiliary in the predicate of the main clause immediately to the [blank_start]left[blank_end] of the subject. If the sentence has no auxiliary supply one in the form of [blank_start]do[blank_end].- Astatement
- Bpassive
- Cfirst
- Dsecond
- Eleft
- Fright
- Gdo
- Hhave
15Finish the phrase structure rules for a clause in English:
S → [blank_start]NP[blank_end] -- [blank_start]AUX[blank_end] -- [blank_start]VP[blank_end]- ANP
- BAUX
- CVP
- DC
16Finish the phrase structure rules for a NOUN PHRASE in English:
NP → [blank_start](DET)[blank_end] - [blank_start](Q)[blank_end] - [blank_start](ADJP)[blank_end] - N - [blank_start](PP)[blank_end]- A(DET)
- B(Q)
- C(ADJP)
- D(PP)
17Where do pronouns fit in in the phrase structure rules?
- AThey aren't in the rules because they are part of the superficial, rather than the deep structure.
- BThey replace just the N.
- CThey can replace the whole noun phrase.
18Finish the phrase structure rules for adjective phrases.
ADJP → [blank_start](INT)[blank_end] - [blank_start]ADJ[blank_end]- A(INT)
- BADJ
19In adjective phrases multiple adjectives are ordered depending on what type they are. Put this list of types in the correct order.
[blank_start]opinion (difficult)[blank_end], size (big), [blank_start]age (old)[blank_end], shape (round), [blank_start]color (red)[blank_end], origin (Greek), [blank_start]material (iron)[blank_end], purpose (sleeping)- Aopinion (difficult)
- Bage (old)
- Ccolor (red)
- Dmaterial (iron)
20Finish the phrase structure rules for prepositional phrases:
PP → [blank_start]P[blank_end] - [blank_start]NP[blank_end]- AP
- BNP
21How can a prepositional phrase be recursive?
- AWhen you keep attaching prepositional phrases on the end of the noun phrases.
- BWhen you use multiple PPs in a clause.
- CWhen you use multiple PPs in a multi-clause sentence.
22Sometimes it looks like a preposition is at the end of a sentence but it's actually something else. What can these be?
- AAdverbs
- BParticles of phrasal verbs
- CAdjectives
- DNouns
23When a sentence has two auxiliary verbs they will be there in a certain order. Order these correctly:
[blank_start]modal auxiliary[blank_end] - [blank_start]tense auxiliary[blank_end]- Amodal auxiliary
- Btense auxiliary
24Finish the phrase structure rules for VERB PHRASES.
VP → [blank_start]V[blank_end] - [blank_start](NP)[blank_end] - (PP) - (ADVP)- A(NP)
- BV
25PPs that are in VPs are functioning like [blank_start]adverbs[blank_end]. These PPs and ADVPs are able to go almost anywhere in the VP and the sentence [blank_start]is not[blank_end] considered to be transformed. The PPs in NPs [blank_start]cannot[blank_end] be moved this way.
- Aadverbs
- Badjectives
- Cnouns
- Dis not
- Eis
- Fcannot
- Gcan
26[blank_start]Phrase markers[blank_end] is another name for tree diagrams. Each clause will be an S and always have an NP, [blank_start]AUX[blank_end], and VP directly below it. If the sentence being diagrammed has no auxiliary then there will be a [blank_start]0[blank_end] for that.
The term [blank_start]lexical items[blank_end] refers to the words in a sentence and in a tree diagram the lexical items are at the bottom. Then we draw the tree from the [blank_start]top down[blank_end].
Some transformations can't be diagramed cleanly and we end up with crossing lines, like when an [blank_start]adverb[blank_end] phrase is in the front of the sentence. In these situations we need to rearrange the sentence to be closer to [blank_start]deep[blank_end] structure.- APhrase markers
- BIntonation markers
- CPalindromes
- DAUX
- EADJP
- FADVP
- G0
- H-A
- Ilexical items
- Jgroup words
- Ktop down
- Lbottom up
- Madverb
- Nadjective
- Odeep
- Psurface
27In tree diagrams, [blank_start]compound sentences[blank_end] are composed of three [blank_start]equal[blank_end] branches with an S on either side and CONJ in the [blank_start]middle[blank_end].
With [blank_start]complex sentences[blank_end], the CONJ is [blank_start]part[blank_end] of the subordinate S.- Acompound sentences
- Bcomplex sentences
- Cequal
- Dmiddle
- Epart
- Fall
28When sentences have subordinate clauses, their purpose is to tell you about the circumstances under which the main clause happened.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
29In [blank_start]subordinate[blank_end] clauses the subordinating conjunction you choose is [blank_start]important[blank_end] because it signals the [blank_start]relationship[blank_end] between that clause and the main one (e.g. "If you marry me..." vs "When you marry me...")
- Asubordinate
- Bmain
- Crelationship
- Dmodality
- Eimportant
- Fnot important
30Adverb, noun, and adjective clauses are all types of [blank_start]subordinate[blank_end] clauses.
- Asubordinate
- Bconjunctive
31Complete the rules for adverb CLAUSES:
S → [blank_start]CONJ[blank_end] - [blank_start]NP[blank_end] - AUX - [blank_start]VP[blank_end]- ACONJ
- BADVP
- CNP
- DVP
32Finish this rule for where adjective clauses go in a NP:
S → (DET) (Q) (ADJP) - [blank_start]N[blank_end] - [blank_start](S)[blank_end] - [blank_start](PP)[blank_end]- A(S)
- BN
- C(PP)
33The structure of an adjective clause is just that of a [blank_start]sentence[blank_end] but the subject is a [blank_start]pronoun[blank_end] that can be either who, whom, [blank_start]which[blank_end], [blank_start]whose[blank_end], or [blank_start]that[blank_end].
- Asentence
- Bclause
- Cpronoun
- Dnoun
- Ewhich
- Fwhichever
- Gwhose
- Hhow
- Ithat
- Jif
34An adjective clause is [blank_start]nonrestrictive[blank_end] when the information that follows is NOT necessary for identifying the noun (the bird, which I saw yesterday.) These will [blank_start]have[blank_end] a comma. They rely on [blank_start]something else[blank_end] to do the pointing (e.g. like here where the determiner did it.)
The adjective clause is a [blank_start]restrictive[blank_end] clause when the information that follows is necessary for identifying the noun (e.g. the bird that I saw yesterday.) These will [blank_start]not have[blank_end] a comma.- Anonrestrictive
- Brestrictive
- Chave
- Dnot have
- Esomething else
- Fsomething similar
35Relative pronouns vary in which type of adjective clause they can be in.
Which is [blank_start]usually[blank_end] used in nonrestrictive ones
That is [blank_start]only[blank_end] used in restrictive ones
Who, whose, and whom could easily be in [blank_start]either type[blank_end]- Ausually
- Bonly
- Ceither type
36Which is the only relative pronoun that can be dropped.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
37The subject of a noun clause is a [blank_start]noun clause marker[blank_end] and there are a lot more of them than there are relative pronouns. Some other words they can be are [blank_start]if[blank_end], [blank_start]when[blank_end], [blank_start]how[blank_end], and [blank_start]whatever[blank_end].
Like adjective clauses, [blank_start]that[blank_end] is the only one which can be dropped.- Athat
- Bwhich
- Cwhy
- Dnoun clause marker
- Enoun subject
- Fsubjunctive
- Gif
- Hto
- Iwhen
- Jaround
- Khow
- Lnear
- Mwhatever
- Nclose by
38In making this indirect question, what kind of clause did we use?
"He asked." + "Who took the money?" = "He asked who took the money."- Anoun clause
- Badjective clause
- Cadverb clause
