In an attempt to account for every sentence that could possibly appear in a language, Noam Chomsky developed PSR's, otherwise known as 1______ 2______ 3______ such as S--->NP + VP. 1 phrase, paradigm, or preposition 2 structure, synonym, or sentence 3 reaction, rule, or regulation

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The thing I found says PSR stand for phrase structure rules

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do NP and VP stand for? In the last part, I mean

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

I'm not entirely sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Well it seems like you've been given an example at the end. I'm thinking it's like "If you have some part of one sentence, what other parts can you figure out?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm probably wrong tho lol

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

lol ill just guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol okay Sorry I couldn't have been more help tho

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

this is what it means A sentence can be rewritten as a noun phrase plus a verb phrase

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh Seems legit lol So it's kinda like a formula?

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

very much so

OpenStudy (anonymous):
