Chegg CHALLENGE PROBLEM SET 2: NOMINAL ADVERBIALS [Critical Thinking; Data Analysis; Challenge] In the text we observed that NPs must appear adjacent to the Verb in VPs, they cannot come after a post-verbal AdvP: a) *Shannon kissed quietly the kitten. b) Shannon kissed the kitten quietly However, there appears to be a class of nouns that can appear in this position. These are nouns expressing quantities of time: c) Shannon left quietly every day Other examples include last year, every day, each week etc. Part 1: How do we know that these constituents are NPs and not AdvPs? (Pay attention to what can modify the N.) Part 2: Is there a way to incorporate such NPs into our PSR system? Explain your answer.

Which lines in this excerpt from act ii of william shakespeare’s romeo and juliet reveal that mercutio thinks romeo would be better off if he stopped thinking about love? mercutio: i will bite thee by the ear for that jest. romeo: nay, good goose, bite not. mercutio: thy wit is a very bitter sweeting it is a most sharp sauce. romeo: and is it not well served in to a sweet goose? mercutio: o here's a wit of cheveril, that stretches from an inch narrow to an ell broad! romeo: i stretch it out for that word 'broad; ' which added to the goose, proves thee far and wide a broad goose. mercutio: why, is not this better now than groaning for love? now art thou sociable, now art thou romeo; now art thou what thou art, by art as well as by nature: for this drivelling love is like a great natural, that runs lolling up and down to hide his bauble in a hole. benvolio: stop there, stop there. mercutio: thou desirest me to stop in my tale against the hair. benvolio: thou wouldst else have made thy tale large. mercutio: o, thou art deceived; i would have made it short: for i was come to the whole depth of my tale; and meant, indeed, to occupy the argument no longer.
