  This section of the documentation focuses on the internal structure of phrasal constituents. Phrases at the clausal level (= daughters of IP) are often labelled with additional information, as described in Clause-level constituents. The section also covers certain nonstructural tags used to label foreign language passages, quotations, references, and similar material.

  #### Adjective phrase (`ADJP`)

  - Heads of ADJP
    - Comparative adjectives as heads of ADJP
    - Superlative adjectives as heads of ADJP
  - Complements of ADJ
    - NP complements of ADJ
      - ALRE plus superlative
    - PP complements of ADJ
    - Clausal complements of ADJ
  - Modifiers of ADJ
  - Movement out of ADJP (see Clause-level constituents)
  - Treatment of individual words

    - LESS
    - MORE
    - MOST
    - MUCH
    - SUCH

  | Phrases of the type TWENTY MILES FROM LONDON are treated as locative ADJPs (`ADJP-LOC`). See Measure phrase for discussion and examples.

  Adjective phrases (`ADJP`) consist of an adjectival head, possibly accompanied by modifiers and/or complements. Participles, though tagged as `VAG` or `VAN`, can function as heads of ADJP.

      (NODE (ADJP (ADJ trew))
            (ID CMCAPCHR,62.905))

      (NODE (ADJP (ADJR fairir))

            (ID CMCAPCHR,145.3374))

      (NODE (ADJP (VAG loving))

      (NODE (ADJP (VAN blessed)))

  Complements and/or modifiers can either precede or follow the head within the ADJP (which contrasts in this respect with other phrasal categories).

                  (NP (NUM v) (N s)))

  #### Heads of ADJP

  #### Comparative adjectives as heads of ADJP

  | (THE) LESS and (THE) MORE are sometimes treated as comparative adjectives in the PPCME2, in which case the considerations below extend to them.

  At the clausal level, comparative adjectives accompanied by a determiner are labelled either `ADJP` or `NP`

  , depending on whether they are functioning as predicates or referring expressions. Such phrases are labelled `ADJP` in the THE MORE THE MERRIER construction, in small clauses, and generally when they are complements of a copular verb. However, even then, they are labelled `NP` if they pick out a particular entity; see Comparative adjectives as heads of NP.

  #### Superlative adjectives as heads of ADJP

  | LEAST and MOST are sometimes treated as superlative adjectives in the PPCME2, in which case the considerations below extend to them.

  At the clausal level, superlative adjectives are generally labelled `NP`. But a superlative adjective projects an `ADJP` if it meets all of the following conditions:

  1. It occurs alone (without a determiner, possessive, or modifier).
  2. It is the complement of a copular verb.
  3. It functions as a predicate rather than as a referring expression (that is, it does not pick out a particular entity).

  #### Complements of ADJ

  Adjectives can take NP, PP, or clausal complements.

  | Superlative adjectives with apparent complements generally function as referential expressions and are labelled `NP` at the phrasal label. The complement is treated as a complement of the (elided) noun.
      ( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (PRO he))
                (BEP is)
                (NP-OB1 (ADJS worst)		<-- parallel to the worst one of all
                        (PP (P of)
                            (NP (Q all))))))
  See Superlative adjectives as heads of NP, Superlative adjective plus genitive.

  #### NP complements of ADJ

  NP complements of adjectives are labelled `NP` (without a dash tag like `-COM, -MSR`, or `-POS`). If the complement is clearly a genitive, this is indicated on the noun's POS tag, but not at the phrasal level. Adjectives that take NP complements include the following items:

  > LIKE, NEAR, NEXT, NIGH, WORTH

  In early texts, some adjectives (APPROPRIATE, FULL, OBEDIENT, PLEASING, etc.) that take PP complements in Modern English took NP complements (usually datives). Like the complements of other adjectives, these are tagged `NP` without any additional tag, whether they precede or follow the head. Affected NPs are distinct; they are treated as separate constituents and labelled `NP-OB2`.

  #### ALRE plus superlative

  In Middle English, the pre-head (plural) possessive quantifier ALRE, etc., occurs in combination with superlative heads (`ADJS, ADVS, QS`) or the semantically superlative FIRST/LAST. In texts from the first Middle English period (M1), ALRE in this construction is treated as a separate word. It is tagged `Q$` and treated as a bare NP complement of the superlative or FIRST/LAST.

      (NODE (ADJP (NP (Q$ alre))		<-- early Middle English texts
                  (ADJS hest))

                (QS meast))

  The few cases in this period of ALRE written together with MOST are treated as compounds (`Q$+QS`).

      (NODE (QP (Q$+QS alremest))
            (ID CMLAMBX1,49.636))

  In the later periods of Middle English, ALRE, etc., is treated as a prefix (cf. MED alder-), and the word that it is part of is labelled as a unitary word (`ADJS, ADVS, QS`).

  #### Compound nouns

  An `NP` generally immediately dominates no more than one (non-genitive) `N` - namely, its head. An exception is made for noun-noun compounds. If the compound is written together as a single word, it is tagged `N+N`. If it is written apart, both parts are labelled `N` but not grouped together separately.

  For forms of address (SIR KNIGHT) and names (UTHER PENDRAGON, KING ARTHUR), see the discussion of noun-noun compounds in connection with proper nouns.

  Although strings of two or three nouns making up a noun phrase are generally noun compounds, some (for instance, FRIENDS, ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN) are conjunction structures without an overt conjunction.

  #### NPs with empty heads

  An NP without an overt nominal element (`N, NPR, ONE, OTHER, PRO`, and corresponding plurals) is assumed to have an empty nominal head. This is not indicated, however, except by the `NP` label. An NP may consist entirely of a demonstrative, adjective, number, quantifier, or possessive pronoun acting pronominally, or of phrases containing these elements, as illustrated by the following examples and as discussed in more detail below.

  #### Comparative adjectives as heads of NP

  At the clausal level, comparative adjectives accompanied by a determiner are labelled as either `NP` or `ADJP`, depending on whether they are functioning as referring expressions or as predicates. They are labelled `NP` when the phrase in question functions as a noun phrase (subject, object of verb or preposition, etc.). This includes cases where the phrase clearly picks out a particular entity, even if the phrase is the complement of a copular verb. Otherwise, comparative adjectives project an `ADJP`.

  #### NP complements of N (`NP-COM`)

  Bare NP complements of nouns are labelled `NP-COM`. This includes cases where a genitive NP in early texts corresponds to an OF phrase in later English. `NP-COM` continues to occur into Modern English, especially with ABOARD, AMID, HALF, and SIDE.

  The complement may precede or follow the head and consist of one or more than one word.

  #### KIND

  The word KIND poses special difficulties because the structures containing it underwent reanalysis. In early texts, KIND is the head of a genitive NP modifying a noun.

      (NODE (NP (NP-COM (Q sumes) (N$ kennes))	<-- FISH OF SOME KIND
                (N fisc)))

  KIND was either singular CUNNES, etc. or plural CUNNE, etc. Some texts, such as the Ormulum and the Katherine Group, maintain this distinction faithfully, while others, such as Ancrene Riwle and the Trinity Homilies are less consistent, either using both CUNNES and CUNNE in the same contexts, or not following any easily discernable pattern. The Lambeth Homilies seem to use the singular form in all contexts, whether singular or plural. Therefore, in texts from the first Middle English period (M1), KIND is marked as singular or plural by form rather than by context.

      (NODE (NP (NP-COM (Q naness) (N$ kinness))	<-- early texts
                (N shaffte))

                    (NS men))
            (ID CMTRINIT,123.1646))

  This construction is later reanalyzed, so that FISH OF SOME KIND becomes SOME KIND(S) (OF) FISH. In texts from later periods of Middle English, the few examples of KIND that occur without OF are treated as heads with an NP-COM complement.

  #### Superlative adjective plus genitive

  In early Middle English texts, superlative adjectives modifying a noun (which may be elided) can occur with a genitive NP. The genitive NP is treated as a complement of the head noun (not of the superlative adjective) and labelled `NP-COM`.

  #### Clausal complements of N

  Nouns can take clausal complements (`CP-THT, IP-INF,` etc.) (see Types of subordinate clauses for details). In connection with FORASMUCH and similar words (INASMUCH, INSOMUCH), clauses that were originally degree complements are labelled as adverbial clauses (`CP-ADV`).

  #### Modifiers of N

  NPs are modified by adjectives and adjective phrases (`ADJ, ADJP`), genitives and possessives (`N$, PRO$, NP-POS`), measure noun phrases (`NP-MSR`), numbers and number phrases (`NUM, NUMP`), quantifiers and quantifier phrases (`Q, QP`), prepositional phrases (`PP`), ordinary and reduced relative clauses (`CP-REL, RRC`), and by appositives and parentheticals (`NP-PRN`).

  #### Adjectival modifiers of N

  Postnominal adjectives are always surrounded by `ADJP` brackets, even in cases like HEIRS MALES, POUND STERLING, and the like.

  When the genitive is not grouped with a word that precedes it within the NP, this reflects that the word preceding the genitive modifies not it, but the complex consisting of the genitive and the head. The complex itself is not explicitly bracketed.

  When gerunds take complements, these are originally PPs, in keeping with the nominal origin of the construction. Over time, English develops mixed gerunds, with characteristics of both noun phrases (they are introduced by a determiner or possessive pronoun and can be modified by adjectives) and participial clauses (the gerund takes an NP rather than PP complement). The following examples illustrate the difference between nominal and mixed gerunds. In doubtful cases (for instance, when the verb takes a PP complement), the default is nominal. For purely verbal gerunds, see Participial clauses.

  #### Number phrase (`NUMP`)

  The following discussion focuses on the internal structure of `NUMP`. For the integration of number phrases in the larger clausal structure, see Nouns with empty heads and Measure phrase.

  #### Ordinary cases

  A number phrase consists of either a multi-word number, or a number modified in some way. When single numbers are written out in words, they are given flat structures.

      (NODE (NUMP (NUM fyve) (NUM hondred))
            (ID CMMALORY,11.327))

      (NODE (NUMP (NUM ten) (NUM thousand))
            (ID CMMALORY,18.567))

      (NODE (NP (NUMP (NUM three) (NUM dozen))
                (NS platters)))

      (NODE (NUMP (NUM nyne) (NUM score))
            (ID CMMALORY,187.2693))

  When coordinating conjunctions or determiners are part of a number, they are labelled with their own POS tag (`CONJ, D`), but otherwise treated as if tagged `NUM`.

      (NODE (NUMP (NUM four) (CONJ and) (NUM twenty)))		<-- flat structure - no CONJP

      (NODE (NUMP (NUM four) (NUM hondred) (CONJ and) (NUM four) (CONJ and) (NUM fyffty))

      (NODE (NP (NUMP (D a) (NUM two))
                (NS miles)))

  As usual, single-word modifiers are not enclosed in phrasal brackets, but multi-word modifiers are.

  | When directly modifying numbers, the following words are tagged ADV: ABOUT, NEAR, NIGH, PASSING.

  #### Special cases

  `NUMP` can surround syntactically complex phrases that function as number phrases. Such number phrases can be headed by categories that can head NP or QP (for instance, ADJ or Q).

            (ID torigin1,Q_OR1_A_1524_T_TDACRE:248.809))

  Other heads (for instance, P) project a maximal projection in the way that they usually would, which is then enclosed by `NUMP` to encode the phrase's function. Some of the following examples include sentence-level NPs for clarity.

      (NODE (NP-MSR (NUMP (PP (P toward)
                              (NP (NUM $1500))))

            (ID tcromwe,Q_CRO_A_1534_T_TCROMWELL:I,373.254))

  Finally, `NUMP` is used rather loosely in some instances to contain numerical constituents of unclear structure.

  | Phrases of the type TWENTY MILES FROM LONDON are treated as locative ADJPs (`ADJP-LOC`). See Measure phrase for discussion and examples.

  #### Complements of P

  PPs are headed by prepositions and take complements of various categories, including NP, CP, ADVP, and PP. Since subordinating conjunctions are treated as `P` in our corpora, subordinate clauses introduced by a subordinating conjunction are labelled `PP`. See below for examples.

  #### Pre-head complements of P

  Complements of prepositions can precede the head. This is the canonical order for the R-pronouns THERE and WHERE, and it is not infrequent with personal pronouns and demonstratives in early texts. Occasionally, even full NP complements precede the head in early texts. Movement is indicated only if the word order makes it necessary.

  #### Clausal complements of P

  CP complements of prepositions are generally restricted to adverbial clauses (`CP-ADV`) or comparative clauses (`CP-CMP`), but other types of CP complements are possible, notably in elision contexts and after SUCH AS. In contrast to the general situation in modern English, the `C` head of such clauses was not necessarily silent in such clauses; see Non-wh CPs for examples.

  AS clauses belong to this type, but are discussed in detail under Types of subordinate clauses because there are so many different types.

  #### Prepositions with a demonstrative plus clause or NP (FORTHI and the like)

  FOR +TI, FOR+TAN, FOR +TAT, IN +TAT, WI+T +TON, ER +TANNE, etc. are often used in Middle English to introduce adverbial clauses. These clauses presumably originated as THAT complements of the NP headed by the demonstrative, but their overall function is adverbial, and they are therefore labelled `CP-ADV`. The demonstrative is labelled `D`, but is not surrounded by `NP` brackets (this differs from the treatment of BECAUSE).

  Besides NPs and clauses, prepositions can take complements of other categories, including ADJPs, ADVPs, PPs, infinitives, participials, etc.

  The following expressions are treated as taking ADJP complements headed by ADJ (the representation is not necessarily the linguistically correct analysis).

  > a sunder
  > at best, at farthest, at full, at large, at present, at utmost
  > by far
  > ere long
  > for certain, for present, for sure
  > in brief, in chief, in common, in full, in future, in general, in ordinary, in particular, in present, in private, in public, in short, in (e)special, in vain
  > of certain, of new, of old
  > on instant

  Note that IN EARNEST and AT/IN QUIET are treated as taking NP complements.

  #### Fronting to Spec(PP)

  In subordinate clauses, fronted elements can occupy Spec(PP), the position immediately preceding the subordinating conjunction. Since the specifier position is not explicitly indicated in our annotation system for any phrasal category, these elements simply appear within the PP in pre-head position. Such fronted constituents are coindexed with an `*ICH*` trace or with a resumptive (`-RSP`) phrase. For analogous cases of fronting in subordinate clauses that are introduced by a complementizer, see Fronting to pre-complementizer position.

  #### Dative of possession (NP-DPS)

  In the early Middle English texts, there appear to be a few cases of the dative of possession. The clear cases always immediately precede a preposition with the "possessed" NP as the object of the preposition. In such cases, the dative is labelled `NP-DPS` and treated as the specifier of the PP. Potential datives of possession in other positions are labelled `NP-OB2`.

    - NP complements of Q (`NP-COM`)

  The following discussion focuses on the internal structure of `QP`. For the integration of Q(P) into the larger clausal structure, see Floated quantifiers, Nouns with empty heads, and Measure phrase.

  #### Complements of Q

  #### NP complements of Q (`NP-COM`)

  In early Middle English texts, quantifiers often take genitive NP complements. These are labelled `NP-COM`.

  #### Modifiers of Q

  For examples and discussion of modifiers of Q that are labelled as `NP-MSR`, see Measure phrase.

  The most common modifiers of Q are the degree modifiers AS, SO, TOO, and in some texts OVER, all of which are tagged `ADVR` in this context. Other (non-comparative) modifiers (FULL, RIGHT, SWI+DE, THUS, etc.) are tagged `ADV`. Non-adverbial modifiers include other quantifiers, numbers, BUT (as focus particle), NOT, THAT and THIS.

  See Measure phrase for when quantifiers are labelled `NP-MSR`.

  #### Wh-phrase

  - WADJP
  - WADVP
  - WNP
  - WPP
  - WQP

  In general, the internal structure of wh- phrases is identical to that of their non-wh counterparts. However, the content of a wh- phrase can generally (except for WPP) be `0` (zero), indicating an empty operator.

  In pied-piping contexts, embedded wh- constituents recursively project a wh- feature all the way up to the phrase in Spec(CP). See Pied piping for further discussion and examples.

  In general, wh- phrases are not annotated with dash tags indicating information concerning grammatical function, subcategory, and the like. The relevant information is associated with the associated wh- trace. Exceptions to the general rule occur in pied-piping contexts where the wh- phrase is not associated with a trace (as sometimes occurs). In such cases, we add a dash to the wh- phrase's label. See Pied piping for examples.

  #### WADJP

  A WADJP may consist of an empty operator `(WADJP 0)` (only in comparatives) or an adjective modified by HOW.

  #### Nonstructural labels

  - CODE
  - Foreign language passages (LATIN, etc.)
  - META
  - Quotation phrase (`QTP`)
  - Reference (`REF`)

  #### CODE

  The label CODE is used for text markup information and similar information such as page numbers. Like punctuation, it is attached as high as possible. See the general introduction for examples and discussion.

  #### Foreign language passages (LATIN, etc.)

  Foreign language passages longer than a single word are labelled with the name of the language. This is most commonly `LATIN`, but occasionally other languages. Although the internal syntax of foreign language passages is treated as a black box, their syntactic function in the English sentence is indicated in the ordinary way. Quotations are labelled `QTP`.

        (ID CMMANDEV,46.1136))

  #### META

  META is similar to CODE, but is used for material that, while part of the original text, is separate from it - for instance, for the identification of characters in plays, dialogues, and trials, and for stage directions.

      	(. .))
        (ID VANBR,32.7))

  #### Quotation phrase (`QTP`)

  The label `QTP` surrounds non-sentential and foreign language quotations. It is also used to distinguish "mention" from "use". It is like a black box that indicates that the interior structure of a string is not relevant to the clause. Sentence fragments that are direct speech are labelled `QTP` rather than `FRAG`. For full clauses that are direct speech, see Direct speech.
