HW6: They all and comments on the homework

Filed under: Errata, Homework notes — Paul Hagstrom @ 9:02 pm

There was a miscommunication with the grader about how to treat the all in the problem in homework 6 where you needed to draw a structure for the sentence with they all in it. You may have gotten notes written on your homework that contradict what we’ve done in class and on the handouts (and in the book). The way we were treating it then, all is a N that takes an NP complement (so, it has the features [N, uN*] among others), not an adjunct. Now, we’d treat it as a D that takes a DP complement (see p. 263 in the book).

I’ve been assured that this by itself didn’t move anyone’s homework score up or down a level, but I’ll still look over that part of your homework if you’d like, just bring it with you to class.
