Parse trees for Assignment #12

Sentence to parse:

My next essay will be about a picture which I will be selecting from a big album.

The first failed attempt.

After the suggestion to replace the compound sentence by two simple sentences which would convey the same meaning:

First sentence.

Second sentence.

The above is incorrect, because the NP from the previous sentence, namely "a picture", is missing. It should be:

I will be selecting a picture from a big album.

The second failed attempt.

In the following picture the incorrect fragments have been enclosed in numbered boxes. The comments below correspond to these boxes:

1. There is no rule: VP --> NP PP
2. The correct parse tree should have only one root, in this case it should be S.
3. There is no rule: VP --> VP NP
4. There is no rule: NP --> PP
5. The movement is wrong: NP cannot undergo a change to VP during the movement.

Incorrect fragments are enclosed in boxes.

Correct parse:

The number in red next to a tree node is the number of the rule applied to create this node. For example, 6 corresponds to the rule: VP --> (Aux) (Aux) V ( [ NP PP ] ).

The above sentence could be parsed in other ways as well, but considering the rules introduced so far (shown below), is seems to be the only one possible.
