__Figure ??__ Annotated tree for the sentence “Her eyes were glazed as if she didn’t hear or even
20+
see him.” from the Penn Treebank. Note that in this grammar there is a distinction between an object
21+
noun phrase (_NP_) and a subject noun phrase (_NP-SBJ_). Note also a grammatical phenomenon we have
22+
not covered yet: the movement of a phrase from one part of the tree to another. This tree analyzes
23+
the phrase “hear or even see him” as consisting of two constituent _VP_ s, [VP hear [NP *-1]] and [VP
24+
[ADVP even] see [NP *-1]], both of which have a missing object, denoted *-1, which refers to the _NP_
25+
labeled elsewhere in the tree as [NP-1 him].
