In syntactic analysis, a constituent is a word or a group of words that function as a single unit within a hierarchical structure. The constituent structure of sentences is identified using tests for constituents. These tests apply to a portion of a sentence, and the results provide evidence about the constituent structure of the sentence. Many constituents are phrases. A phrase is a sequence of one or more words (in some theories two or more) built around a head lexical item and working as a unit within a sentence. A word sequence is shown to be a phrase/constituent if it exhibits one or more of the behaviors discussed below. The analysis of constituent structure is associated mainly with phrase structure grammars, although dependency grammars also allow sentence structure to be broken down into constituent parts.

Prepositions in Italian: Preposizioni Articolate
What's a preposition? It's a word that describes a relationship between a noun and some other element in the sentence. In English, these are words like to, at, of, or in. How are they used in Italian? Furthermore, how do these combine with articles to become preposizioni articolate? Let's

NOUN PHRASES - ENGLISH GRAMMAR
We discuss noun phrases. Noun phrases consist of a head noun, proper name, or pronoun. Noun phrases can be modified by adjective phrases or other noun phrases. Noun phrases take determiners as specifiers. We also draw trees for noun phrase. you want to support the channel, hit the "JOIN"

In this introductory lecture about constituents, Prof. Handke lists and discusses the main constituent tests and illustrates how they work. This lecture thus constitutes the basis for further work in constituent analysis and should be reconsulted on a regular basis.

GEN102 - Practical D: Language & Linguistics
This practical looks at the homogeneity of word-classes using adjectives. As a result, you will find out that adjectives constitute a rather heterogenous word-class. This practical is part of the first unit in linguistics, i.e. the first ever contact with such phenomena.
