Basic phrase structure
Constituents • Sentence fragments, movement, ellipsis,
anaphora as tests for constituency, ambiguities
• built by the rule "Merge" Subcategorization and the notion "head" • The sisterhood condition on
subcategorization, and some consequences. Implications for acquisition.
• Modification of the sisterhood condition gives the notion "head".
• Structural definition of grammatical relations: subject, object
θ-roles • Agent, patient, goal... • the Uniformity of Theta Assignment
Hypothesis (UTAH)

What's interesting about Chomsky's generalization?
Significance for language acquisition:
1.Assume the generalization is just the way language works — part of Universal Grammar.
2.This means that a child who is acquiring language does not
have to pay attention to the entire phrase structure tree when learning the subcategorization requirements of a word. Makes the task easier.
