SYN125 - The Noun Phrase in PDE

[@user87653]

I wish I could’ve watched this video 6 years ago

[@lsmlamsmlam4666]

is there any reference of the structure of noun phrase?

Happy New Year! Could you further explain that in 12:13? Why “often quoted” is different from “recommended”?

[@consumopersonal2900]

I'm a year late but I think it's because recommended is a participle (a verb functioning as an adjective) and the "often" in 'often quoted' is a time adverbial

[@sot11cat]

@@consumopersonal2900 Thanks for the response! No problem with timing! I still don’t get it. “recommended” and “often quoted” both are participial clauses; “often” is an adverbial modifier of the participle “quoted”; it could also be “often recommended”, “never recommended”, “always recommended” etc. In any case, we deal with an adverb modifying a participle, and a participle modifying a noun. I just can’t see any qualitative difference between “often quoted book” and “recommended book” or “never recommended book” and “stupidly quoted book”, besides the constructional complexity of the participial component per se; it is something quantitative and does not seem to concern the relation between the participial modifier and the noun.

Thank you, this really helped. I am trying to understand this, it seemed very complicated until now.

[@gloriaakello598]

Thanks for the lecture. One question here, does abstract noun fall under noun classes or treated differently? This is because only proper, common and pronouns were mentioned as classifications of a noun. Thank you.

[@Sonnen_Licht]

Abstract nouns fall under common nouns. They are a subset of common nouns and they have no syntactical differences from any other common nouns.

What is the construction "In England, there was a king who had a beard." (In ... there was ...) called? What are its constituent parts? I can't figure this one out.

[@smff8846]

In England (Adverbial preposition modifying the independent clause) - There was (form of 'be' verb) = a king. I believe this is correct.
