Syntactic Trees

Famous quotes containing the words syntactic and/or trees:

    The syntactic component of a grammar must specify, for each sentence, a deep structure that determines its semantic interpretation and a surface structure that determines its phonetic interpretation.

    It was when the trees were leafless first in November
    And their blackness became apparent, that one first
    Knew the eccentric to be the base of design.
