In this episode fo LanGoPod, we investigate the phrase as a syntactic unit. We start off by attempting to define the word and then introduce the notion of word class. Phrases are labeled for the word class of the head of the phrase. For example, a noun is the head of a noun phrase. We can identify phrases through constituency tests, and in this episode, we employ one coined by Haj Ross as OCM (“Only Chunks Move”). For our “Comparatively Speaking” section, we examine plural suffix allomorphy in English, nouns and verbs in Portuguese, and discuss the notion of "adjectives" in Korean and Chinese.
