A) Find an example of one each of the following constructions in an English-language 0F” newsmagazine or newspaper. Don’t make the example up, but ?nd one that someone else actually produced. Cite the source for each of your four examples. Provide an argument-structure diagram for each example. Draw a completely labeled tree diagram (all the way down to the bottom nodes!) for each of your four examples. Identify the main clause (containing what some call an “in?ected phrase” or IP) in each example. Discuss what in the IP is the main semantic element, and what is the main syntactic head, and why. (The semantic and syntactic head might be the same element, but they might be distinct, depending on your example.) 1. A reciprocal construction. 2. A causative construction. 3. A passive construction. 4. An object omission, object demotion, or object incorporation construction.
