I am taking Syntax II atm. It's incredibly challenging, especially considering how they teach it.

It's been a rough couple of quarters, man. :(


But what does that mean!?

2. Effortlessly cure cancer aids.

3. Finish this list with Gusto.

Not fuckups, just turning DPs (constituents with noun phrases in them) from embedded clauses into [+wh] feature phrases (which, who, etc) and moving them to successively higher CP spec positions to form questions.

The issue that arises is that english speakers hate having gaps left without pronouns, especially where agentive/experiential pronouns go. In romance languages they modify verbs to code for tense and specify who is performing the action, so pronouns are superfluous. Not so much in English.

So the problem is the English fixation on pronoun placement. Tho since we don't modify our verbs the same way it's understandable.

Which can be useful so you don't have to start the whole sentence again, at least in speech. ^^


Guys.
I just googled what they are and... ew. Just ew. Every example on wikipedia made me cringe. I get that they can perhaps be useful in exceedingly long sentences, but still.


1. I agree 100%

2. I disagree with some things you said, I don't think they're necessarily meant to be useful, they're just naturally occurring compensations for sentency fuck ups.
Irony levels are rising.
<Snipped quote by Vilageidiotx>@scribz knows what I look like, youve all guessed wrong so far. And I'm not bitter, lighten up.....or should I say...whiten up :D :D :D :D
