Dear LFG Fans,
Consider the following sentence:
"The manager went from the house to the school with a friend in the winter."
Am I allowed to use "PBAR" to indicate a series of consecutive prepositional
phrases? Is the following C-structure correct? Thanks in advance for your
advice. Cheers from Paul.
S --> NP VP
NP --> DET N
DET --> "the"
N --> "manager"
VP --> V PBAR
V --> "went"
PBAR--> PP PBAR
PP --> PRP NP
PRP --> "from"
NP --> DET N
DET --> "the"
N --> "house"
PBAR--> PP PBAR
PP --> PRP NP
PRP --> "to"
NP --> DET N
DET --> "the"
N --> "school"
PBAR--> PP PBAR
PP --> PRP NP
PRP --> "with"
NP --> DET N
DET --> "a"
N --> "friend"
PBAR--> PP
PP --> PRP NP
PRP --> "in"
NP --> DET N
DET --> "the"
N --> "winter"
