Coursework Instructions:

This is made up of three components.
Component one see attached images/text that explain the question and expectations
Component two is explained below
Component three is also explained but there is an attachment that goes with component three and is a diagram image
Component 2 Referral/Deferral
Select a single, well-formed English sentence from the internet and state the source. Provide a morphological and phonological analysis of the sentence. There is no word limit as such but you are only expected to comment on features in your example sentence. This would normally be possible on a single side of A4, in addition to your diagrams, and two sides is the maximum.
Guidelines
A typical analysis would include most or all of the following.
A phonetic transcription
A diagrammatic representation of the syllable structure and stress placement
A brief description of the morphological properties of elements in the sentence
A brief commentary on any morphological phenomena with diagrams if necessary.
font size 12 assignment. Digrams and transcriptions may be word processed or hand drawn. Submission format be one or a mixture of;
Word processed- please include a pdf to ensure formatting is not lost
Scanned document
Photographed document
Marking criteria
You are awarded marks based on the knowledge of English phonology and morphology that you demonstrate. You can do this by;
1. the complexity of the features in the sentence analysed
2. the accuracy of your transcription.
3.the accuracy and completeness of your commentary.
Componet 3 Referral/deferral
The model of grammar studied in this module could be represented as follows;
See attached diagram
With examples explain aspects of the processes that are involved at each stage of the model ie;
What is stored in the lexicon? (eg. lexemes, morphemes, compounds) What morphological operations are required for items to enter the syntactic derivation? (eg derivational morphology)
What are the syntactic operations that generate D-structures? (eg .theta criterion, X theory)
What syntactic operations transform D-structure to S-structure? (eg, Do insertion, T to C raising, wh-movement)
What morphology is involved in marking items at S- structure? (eg, inflectional morphology)
How does the phonology of English give phonetic form to an utterance? (eg, phonemes, allophones, syllable structure)
Your answer must include a discussion of some aspect (s) of syntax AND some aspect (s) of phonology and morphology.
You should write no more than 2,500 words - your work should be typed in a standard font, size 12 with double line spacing (except for diagrams and phonemic script)
Diagrams and transcriptions may be word processed or hand drawn. The submission format may be one or a mixture of;

Component 1 Referral/Deferral Sounds and Structures of English
Component One
The sentence sourced from an online dataset and which will form the basis of various analyses in this component is: ‘This girl in the red coat will put a picture of Bill on your desk before tomorrow’ (Datawhale, 2022). Argument structure denotes the simplest specification of a sentence’s semantics by illustrating the number and form of parameters linked with the lexical item as a verb. For instance, in the sentence, the girl in the red coat and a picture of Bill are semantic participants of the verb ‘put’ and they are also its primary syntactic arguments: the subject and the direct object, correspondingly. The verb put assigns theta roles to the girl in the red coat as the entity doing the action while the theme is the picture of the bill. On the other hand, the goal in the sentence is to put a picture of Bill on the desk before tomorrow morning. ‘This girl in the red coat will put a picture of Bill on your desk’ is the main clause because it does not require the extra information ‘before tomorrow’ to make sense by itself. ‘This girl in the red coat is a subordinate clause as it does not communicate a complete thought and requires 'will put a picture of Bill on your desk’ to make any sense to the reader. It is also a noun clause because it can be replaced with a noun and it would still make sense. For instance, ‘The girl in the red coat’ can be replace with she. Clauses can also help in identifying the constituents in the sentence: those sections of the sentence that can be replaced with a pronoun are units. For instance, in addition to the possibility of replacing ‘The girl in the red coat’ with with she, it is also possible to replace the section ‘girl in the red coat’ with one, ‘coat’ with one, ‘a picture of Bill’ with the pronoun it, ‘on your desk’ with it, and ‘your desk’ with it. All these sequences are constituents. The constituents of the sentence are ‘This girl in the red coat’, ‘girl in the red coat’, ‘coat’, ‘a picture of Bill’, ‘on your desk’, and ‘your desk’. Having identified the constituents in the sentence, the case assignment of the sentence using the tree structure will appear in the following manner. The constituent ‘The girl in the red coat’ is a determiner phrase that contains ‘girl in the red coat’ as well as ‘coat’ as noun phrases: ‘in’ is a preposition, ‘the’ is a determiner, and ‘red’ is an adjective. The constituent ‘a picture of Bill’ is a determiner phrase where ‘a’ is a determiner, ‘picture’ is a noun, ‘of’ is a preposition, and ‘Bill’ is a noun. The constituent ‘on your desk’ is a preposition phrase containing the other constituent ‘your desk’ as a determiner phrase and ‘on&rsquo...
