  2. 1. Adjective Phrase (AP) happy, uncomfortable, beautiful, terrified, sad, proud of her, proud that he passed the exam, etc.

  3. The principles of AP • The most common environment where an adjective phrase (AP) occurs is in ‘verbs refer to 5 senses’ constructions. • Verbs 5 senses are feel, look, smell, sound, taste + [seem] • AP must include an adjective.

  4. Testing AP element Let see the following expression: John feels_____AP_____. The expressions that can occur in the AP letters position might be filled by: happy, uncomfortable, sad, proud of her, proud that he passed the exam, etc.

  5. Basic constituent of aP AP  A (+PP/CP) AP APP I feel happywith her AP ACP I feel happythat she comes now

  6. Testing grammatical S with AP Observe the contrasts in the following examples: a. *The monkey seems [want to leave the meeting]. b. The monkey seems [eager to leave the meeting]. a. *John seems [know about the bananas]. b. John seems [certain about the bananas]. These examples tell us that the verb seem combines with an AP, but not with a VP.
