| Citazioni | A hierarchical structure is a class of forms which are alike in a certain way; so is a construction. Now it is clear that in any such cases as that of "old men and women", the analyst will be able to determine the ultimate constituents and the (linear) order of those constituents, but he will not necessarily be able to tell the order of association, the IC-structure or HIERARCHICAL structure, of the utterance. |
