@_@...glottal...glide sounds. Adjective clauses and phrases. Affricates and allomorphs. Bilabial (sounds almost dirty). Coordinating conjunction. Ditransitive. Obligatory constituent. And so on...

The part that really kinda worried me on the test was when there was an English sound and you had to figure out what it was (voiced/voiceless/bilabial/etc) based on a big list and some of them were between zero and four of them. I also didn't like the one where you had to figure out a word based on the phonetic constituents and visa versa.

X_X Well...at least I don't have to know all this right now...but it does feel like a lot of memorization.

so like...

determinant = a
noun = zapper

a zapper = NP?
very happy = AP?

A very happy zapper zapped me. Me = indirect object (pronoun)? @_@?

@_@ Wow. Thanks ^^. I'm still not quite there (indirect object eludes me) but I'm glad to be immersing myself (in a fun way) in this stuff ^^.
