Topic: Nominal phrase

	German grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To replace a nominal by a pronoun that is derived from an article, you use the declined form corresponding to the gender, case and number of the nominal phrase.
		A prepositional phrase consists of a nominal phrase and a preposition or postposition.
		A predicative noun is a nominal phrase in the nominative case.

		A deed phrase is constituted of a variety of components which may indicate ideas related to temporal diexis, social diexis, quantification or qualification of the action, context, aspect, agent, patient, instrument and modality.
		A nominal phrase is a phrase with a nominal at its core.
		A patient phrase is a nominal phrase marked as a patient which serves as the recipient of the deed in a sentence, or as the thing being acted upon or toward.

	THE UNIT
		These differences are basically that (a) the nominal group is essential to the structure of a prepositional group, whereas the rankshifted elements in the other cases are optional and that (b) there are no special restrictions on the nominal group in a prepositional group structure.
		And prepositional phrases are identical to noun phrases at least in that they both "have a nominal group which is essential to their structure"[20].
		Prepositional phrases are essentially noun phrases; noun phrases which need a preposition to clarify their semantic relationship with the other elements involved in the process[21].

	Morphosyntactic_alignment LANGUAGE SCHOOL EXPLORER
		In a language with morphological case marking, the experiencer and agent are both marked with the nominative case or sometimes unmarked, while the patient is marked with the accusative case.
		For instance, "a" always represents the formal marker by which the experiencer is signified, called either the "nominative" or the "absolutive" depending upon whether this morpheme marks the agent of the action (as in nominative-accusative languages) or the patient (as in ergative-absolutive languages).
		In languages of the 1st class, the experiencer and the agent are marked with the nominative case (the "a" marker) while the patient is marked with the accusative case (the "b" marker).

	Part 2 to Verb Dictionary on Alaskool.org
		By the equivalent of an adverb phrase is meant any nominal or locative phrase, marked or unmarked, or a marked demonstrative, directional or pronominal (see Appendix, section 7.5 for the marking of phrases) that is grammatically substitutable for an adverb phrase.
		An inner locational phrase is shown in the representation of the verb expression by a hyphen not followed by a marker.
		Similarly, a represents the position (in an adverb, locative or nominal phrase) at which a pronominal, noun or nominal phrase which is not restricted in having reference to a person may be substituted.

	The FrameNet Project -- Identifying Phrase Types (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In choosing the phrase types and grammatical functions to use, the major criterion was whether or not a particular label might figure into a description of the grammatical requirements of one of the target words of the project.
		PP is assigned to ordinary prepositional phrases with nominal objects and to particles, the latter under the assumption that particles can be regarded as prepositional phrases which lack objects.
		The reason for the analysis as a clause is that the noun phrase cannot be separated from the gerundive verb phrase, for instance, in passivization.

		A phrase is a group of related words that does not contain both a subject and a predicate (verb).
		A nominal phrase functions as a noun in the sentence, whereas a verbal phrase contains verbs in the infinitive, the present participle or past participle.

		Usually, grammar assumes that the nominal phrase serving as the sentence subject appears before the verb phrase, which serves as the sentence predicate.
		Now it is necessary to check if all the words find their place in the sentence structure, and to detect annexed complements, adjectives attached to the nominal phrases, and additional words that may be found to have a function ‘on the side’.
		The nominal phrase has to serve as a legitimate complement in the relative clause, and after it has been identified as such a complement, an obligatory complement that has not yet been accomplished should not be left in the sentence.

		On this view, the nominal `F' in `that F' plays only a pragmatic role in bringing our attention to what the speaker is demonstrating with his use of `that', an object which may still be picked out even if the nominal fails to apply to it.
		In contrast, Richard argues that, in addition to restricting what can be the referent, the nominal contributes to the truth conditions of sentences containing the complex demonstrative; in particular, the sentence `That F is G' cannot be true unless the referent of the demonstrative is F, and is false if the referent is not.
		Similarly, genitive forms of proper names and indexicals that combine with nominals to form complex noun phrases, as in `John's beagle' and `His hat', are standardly treated as equivalent to descriptions in which the referring terms are treated as part of the predicate restriction on the article.

	CUNY 2002 Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Experiment 1 found that it is possible to prime the production of noun phrase structures containing a pre-nominal adjective (e.g., "the red book") vs. a post-nominal phrase (e.g., "the book that's red"): 19% more target structures had the same structure as the prime than the alternative.
		Apart from demonstrating priming at the level of the noun phrase, the results also indicate that lexical overlap increases the magnitude of priming.
		The results are interpreted in terms of the model of the lemma stratum developed by Pickering and Branigan (1998), where each noun node (e.g., for "book") is linked to syntactic nodes corresponding to constructions in which the adjective either precedes or follows the noun, and which predicts the enhanced effect of lexical overlap.

		Phrases that are next to a large number of query words get higher scores that phrases that are further away.
		For example, the phrase signature for the phrase ``Hugo Young'' is determined by the chunker as ``NNP NNP''.
		Finally, the phrase ``Alan Shepard'' moves even higher in the list (to seventh place) when the list of phrases is limited to the 1,935 phrases in the highest ranking 50 sentences returned by our sentence ranking component.

		Semantically, they are treated as intersective = modifiers which add their semantic contribution to that of a nominal = projection which is contained in the phrase to which the relative clause = is adjoined.

	Mention Extent
		Thus, the crucial question to ask in order to determine the extent of a mention, is: "Where does the NP begin and where does it end?" The length of a mention extent directly depends on the size of the NP: the longer the NP, the larger the extent.
		Two consecutive, juxtaposed nouns or noun phrases are in apposition when they refer to the same person or thing, and when either can be omitted without seriously changing the meaning or the grammar of a sentence.
		In this example, the phrases "Washington lawyer Vernon E. Jordan Jr." and "one of the president's closest advisers" are in apposition.

	Syntax of -ing forms:
		Subjects and objects in English are typically nominal phrases though both gerund (verbal) and infinitive phrases also fulfill both subject and object positions.
		The category ambiguity of the gerund phrase is accounted for by assuming the suffix —ing can fill either a noun or a verb node since there must also be a verbal —ing that creates the present participle of the verb.
		In his phrase structure trees, NP gerunds are treated as having an N* node acting as the phrasal head and sharing the verb-ing with the VP as shown below.

		In a nominal phrase, the noun usually bears the main informative value, the attribute having only a secondary informative function.
		In particular instances, however, it is the attribute that conveys the main informative value of the nominal phrase.
		Different languages use different means at different levels of sophistication and subtlety for adapting the attribute to that specific function.

	Persian Noun Phrase
		Pronouns and proper names mark the boundary of the Noun Phrase (i.e., no other NP element can appear to the right of pronouns and proper names), hence they are often included as the last element in the Persian NP.
		The complex noun phrase is the equivalent of the genitive or possessive constructions in English, such as "Mao's red book", "her mother's hat" or "the syntax of noun phrases".
		The ezafe morpheme does not mark the end boundary of a Noun Phrase but rather the lack thereof, since the ezafe is used to join the head of a NP to the constituents following it.

		In other words, a DP can be interpreted as plural even if it contains a conjunction phrase consisting of singular conjuncts, but an NP can only be interpreted in terms of the actual features of its daughters.
		The whole nominal construction is only plural at the functional projection level.
		Similarly, a determiner with a feature X cannot have a complement of conflicting features since a non-functional category is not the place for resolution of feature conflicts.

	ADVERBIALS
		Form refers to a word class--such as noun, verb, adjective, adverb, and preposition--as well as types of phrases, such as prepositional phrase, nominal clause, and adverbial clause.
		For example, the function of a prepositional phrase in a sentence may be adverbial; that is, it modifies a verb.
		The most common structure of modification is a prepositional phrase, which refers to form.

	Jorge Hankamer WebFest
		The analysis of the anaphoric Determiner Phrases like those in (8) generally treats the appearance of the independent form of the possessive pronoun as a morphological reflex sensitive to the presence of an empty Noun Phrase, which represents the anaphor.
		The data are expected under the assumption that the anaphoric cases of independent possessives are represented by branching structures, in which the right branch is an empty phrase representing the anaphoric ellipsis.
		I owe the observation of the relevance of the constraint on object placement to the treatment of independent possessive pronouns to Deborah L. Thacker, who made it in her midterm exam for my course "Modern English Grammar" in the spring term of 1989.
