The grammarian's lab
Manipulate the sentence to discover each group's function.
Some groups in the sentence are highlighted. Your job: figure out their function.
- Pick a gesture (delete, move, replace, pronominalize).
- Click a group in the sentence - see the result and whether it still works.
- When you're sure, annotate each group with its function, then hand in your analysis.
