Syntax: Dependencies

syntactic arrangement

Dependency: when 2+ elements occur in a(n) ________, some kind of dependency exists.

Tree analysis

________ gives no information about dependencies.

morphology

Head is generally unmarked but the dependent is marked ________.

Coordinate dependence

________: all elements are of equal status, both heads and dependence.

Unilateral dependence

________: the head can occur without any dependents.

dependency

when 2+ elements occur in a syntactic arrangement, some kind of dependency exists

Head

dominant element

Dependent

all elements that must co-occur because of the head

Bilateral dependence

the occurrence of each element is dependent on the occurrence of the other

Unilateral dependence

the head can occur without any dependents

Coordinate dependence

all elements are of equal status, both heads and dependence

dependent-marking

some languages require morphosyntactic coding only on the dependents

head-marking

other languages require morphosyntactic coding only on the heads

mixed marking

some morphology on heads and dependents

Bilateral

double arrow

Unilateral

one arrow

Coordinate

no arrow
