EXERCISE 5a: Some short sentences for syntactic analysis<br />
Try out your analytical skills on some of the following sentences from English<br />
and Danish. To check your solutions, click on ”check”. If you are operating<br />
from within the <strong>VISL</strong> site, this will result in the downloading of a Java applet<br />
containing the <strong>VISL</strong> analysis of the given sentence. At first you will see only<br />
the top “node” of the syntactic tree. To see the full tree, simply click on<br />
Expand tree in the menu options on the left hand side of the screen. You might<br />
also wish to select the colon notation (where function and form are separated<br />
by a colon, instead of the default case where the function label appears above<br />
the form label). To do this, select “Function left of form” in the Display menu<br />
at the top of the screen.<br />
