English prepositional verbs are fun. I like the set to put someone down, to put someone up, and to put up with someone.

As you say, they can certainly also be refined for more sophisticated frameworks, but they’re pretty good to be going on with. | |

| Oct 25, 2011 at 3:07 | comment | added | Neil Coffey | But there's really no such thing as "the correct answer"!!! There are different frameworks and principles for syntactic analysis, none of which one can readily say is intrinsically "correct". | |
| Oct 24, 2011 at 23:48 | comment | added | Melanchthon | I am currently using a book called Morphology and Syntax by J. Albert Bickford. It's a textbook, but it has a lot of helpful information and covers a wide array of subjects related to grammar and word usage. | |
| Oct 24, 2011 at 23:29 | comment | added | Philoxopher | Thanks, makes sense. BTW, regarding parse trees, did you use any particularly useful resource that you could suggest? | |
| Oct 24, 2011 at 23:28 | comment | added | Melanchthon | Ah, yes. Parse trees, my lifetime enemy. :) I never was very good at those. However, for the word "end up" I do know you would place both words together under one node. Think of it as a compound noun like "hairbrush" or "sunlight." Though you could split them into an adjective and a noun, there really is no reason to. Don't make it harder than it needs to be! In your tree, "end" and "up" should stay together as if they were one word. | |

Added a link, determined usage of "end up."

| Oct 24, 2011 at 23:23 | comment | added | Philoxopher | So there is no way to break up 'end up'? I'm trying to create a linguistic parse tree, and I'm not sure how to map this out without being able to break up the phrase 'end up'. | |
