Chomsky’s grammar should show patterns of language change that are independent of the family tree or the pathway tracked through it, whereas Greenbergian universality predicts strong co-dependencies between particular types of word-order relations.
断句:
① Chomsky’s grammar should show patterns of language change
② that are independent of the family tree or the pathway tracked through it.
③ whereas Greenbergian universality predicts strong co-dependencies between particular types of word-order relations.
各部分结构:
① 主语(Chomsky’s grammar)+谓语( should show)+宾语( patterns of language change )
② 定语从句:that are independent of the family tree or the pathway tracked through it.其中the family tree 和the pathway 为并列宾语,tracked through it修饰the pathway
③ 并列句:whereas +主语( Greenbergian universality)+谓语 predicts +宾语(strong co-dependencies)+定语( between particular types of word-order relations)
