      <O>clears throat</O> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:0020:SG>
      <{><[>um</[> with these <.>problem</.> take the other one cos
      that's a bit easier

  <WSC#DPC009:0025:KL>
      <[><O>laughs</O></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC009:0030:TC>
      yeah <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:0035:SG>
      um why is the THE um why is the the <slowly>outside</slowly>

  <WSC#DPC009:0040:SG>
      i mean i i realise it's part of the x bar theory but it's not
      clear to me that the determiner is

  <WSC#DPC009:0045:SG>
      it's not clear to me that those prepositional phrases are more
      <.>composit</.> are composed with the noun announce um are you
      know are closer to the announce than the determiner is in some
      sense

  <WSC#DPC009:0050:SG>
      you know what i mean

  <WSC#DPC009:0055:DM>
      mhm

  <WSC#DPC009:0060:SG>
      so if you were to write it down <,> you say in effect what
      you're doing is you're bracketing these <,> together <{><[>and</[>
      then you're bracketing this outside it

  <WSC#DPC009:0065:KL>
      <[><?>not</?></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC009:0070:DM>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC009:0075:TC>
      <{><[>yeah</[>

  <WSC#DPC009:0080:SG>
      <[>it's not</[></{> clear to me that the determiner <&>13:00</&>
      is outside

  <WSC#DPC009:0085:TC>
      d? <{1><[1><?>in</?></[1> <unclear>word</unclear> yeah

  <WSC#DPC009:0090:TC>
      is it like you're saying that the is <{2><[2>is <?>linked in
      there it's</?> like more closely</[2> related to <{3><[3>announce
      things</[3> on the <{4><[4>radio</[4>

  <WSC#DPC009:0095:SG>
      <[1>mhm</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC009:0100:KL>
      <[2>it's like the announcement</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC009:0105:SG>
      <[3>yeah the announcement</[3></{3>

  <WSC#DPC009:0110:KL>
      <[4>than those ones</[4></{4> are <latch> of the news <{><[>on</[>
      local radio <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:0115:TC>
      <[>yeah</[></{>

      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC009:0130:SG>
      yeah so what do people think about that

  <WSC#DPC009:0135:DM>
      so it doesn't reflect and match what should be a natural

  <WSC#DPC009:0140:KL>
      choice <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:0145:DM>
      what should be <{><[><?>linked together</?></[>

  <WSC#DPC009:0150:SG>
      <[>well i'd like to</[></{> know why the x bar is motivated <,,>

  <WSC#DPC009:0155:SG>
      <quietly>um</quietly> you know what what motivates that that
      particular

  <WSC#DPC009:0160:TC>
      well who's to say we've done it right

  <WSC#DPC009:0165:TC>
      we must have i suppose

  <WSC#DPC009:0170:SG>
      <{1><[1>well i i'm pretty sure</[1> <{2><[2>that is right</[2>
      <{3><[3>from that x you know from from the x bar</[3>

  <WSC#DPC009:0175:SG>
      but i'm not clear well it's not it's not intuitively clear to me
      <laughs><?>which is perhaps the level i most comfortably operate
      on</?></laughs>

  <WSC#DPC009:0180:KL>

  <WSC#DPC009:0200:SG>
      well

  <WSC#DPC009:0205:??>
      <?><.>d</.></?> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:0210:SG>
      if we have a phrase like <slowly><writes on blackboard>the

  <WSC#DPC009:0215:KL>
      <O>coughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC009:0220:SG>
      um <,> my intuitions would say that this should be bracketed
      together <,,> well in some ways

  <WSC#DPC009:0225:SG>
      <.>i</.> i could see an argument for THAT as much as an argument
      that goes this way <,,>

  <WSC#DPC009:0230:XX>
      more than <unclear>word</unclear>

  <WSC#DPC009:0235:SG>
      yeah well i'm just not clear why they why they do it this why
      which is x bar rather than this way which is

  <WSC#DPC009:0240:SG>
      it's not clear that there is some sort of priority <,,>

  <WSC#DPC009:0245:TC>
      <{><[><?>the</?></[> <unclear>word</unclear> <?>listeners</?>

      <[><unclear>word</unclear></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC009:0270:TC>
      they're all right branching aren't they

  <WSC#DPC009:0275:SG>
      that's right they are <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:0280:TC>
      got to have it on the left

      <[>it's on the left</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC009:0300:TC>
      it's got to go up there there's just no other hope for it <,,>

  <WSC#DPC009:0305:SG>
      <slowly>the</slowly>

  <WSC#DPC009:0310:TC>
      it's not like the really has got much semantic weight to it
      anyway

  <WSC#DPC009:0315:SG>
      <with high pitched voice>yeah?</with high pitched voice>

  <WSC#DPC009:0320:TC>
      not really

  <WSC#DPC009:0325:SG>

  <WSC#DPC009:0340:TC>
      <{2><[2>you'd still understand what it meant</[2> but if you

  <WSC#DPC009:0375:DM>
      i never claimed it was anything more than that

  <WSC#DPC009:0380:KL>
      <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC009:0385:SG>
      oh i think you were for a while

  <WSC#DPC009:0390:DM>
      <O>laughs</O> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:0395:SG>
      <?>actually <,> or hoping to</?>

  <WSC#DPC009:0400:DM>
      i was exploring

  <WSC#DPC009:0405:KL>
      <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC009:0410:TC>
      that's what all this stuff's based on is intuition <,,>

  <WSC#DPC009:0415:SG>
      that's true

  <WSC#DPC009:0420:TC>
      cos if it's <{><[>not</[> grammatical it's intuitively not
      grammatical not for any other reason

  <WSC#DPC009:0425:SG>
      <[><?>sure</?></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC009:0430:SG>
      but then within linguistics being a branch of cognitive
      psychology intuitions are remarkably valid proof at times

  <WSC#DPC009:0435:KL>
      <O>laughs</O>

  <WSC#DPC009:0440:TC>
      i mean that's where that's where um <,,><&>4</&> <&>12:00</&>
      generative stuff all started wasn't it <,>

  <WSC#DPC009:0445:TC>
      if something's grammatical or ungrammatical why <,> and <{><[>the
      only</[> reason they could find that out was by asking people if
      it FELT grammatical or ungrammatical

  <WSC#DPC009:0450:DM>
      <[><?>that's right</?></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC009:0455:SG>
      well that's chapter two <O>all laugh</O>

  <WSC#DPC009:0460:DM>
      oh yeah <&>blows nose</&>

  <WSC#DPC009:0465:SG>
      <?>er</?> it's pretty easy wasn't it

      where do quantifiers go?

  <WSC#DPC009:0520:SG>
      <O>voc</O> if it was the five announcements <softly>on the news

      m command was the weak command wasn't it <,,>

  <WSC#DPC009:1130:XX>
      c command is stronger <unclear>word</unclear>

  <WSC#DPC009:1135:TC>
      m command is <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:1140:XX>
      is weaker <,,>

      <unclear>word</unclear>

  <WSC#DPC009:1155:XX>
      sorry c command is <,> stronger because <.>it</.> it has more

  <WSC#DPC009:1260:SG>
      all right

  <WSC#DPC009:1265:XX>
      but you don't go that way you go this way <?>isn't it</?>

  <WSC#DPC009:1270:SG>
      no it's not directional <,> is it

  <WSC#DPC009:1275:XX>
      if it's directional <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:1280:SG>
      no it's not directional is it

      no <{><[>c</[> command isn't but um <,> yeah no it's not

  <WSC#DPC009:1290:KL>
      <[>no</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC009:1295:XX>
      but can you say that <,,><&>3</&> um <,,><&>3</&> on the local

  <WSC#DPC009:1300:XX>
      it's announcement that c commands on the local radio

  <WSC#DPC009:1305:TC>
      head c command <,,><&>3</&> is that right

  <WSC#DPC009:1310:KL>
      <?>think so</?>

  <WSC#DPC009:1315:TC>
      heads c command

  <WSC#DPC009:1320:SG>
      no anything can c command <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:1325:TC>
      anything can c command <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:1330:SG>
      yep <&>19:00</&>

  <WSC#DPC009:1335:XX>
      no but <?>it</?> has to be a lexical category <?>or something</?>
      <unclear>word</unclear>

  <WSC#DPC009:1340:SG>
      well there's nothing in the definition <.>of</.> <.>of</.> of c
      command that requires it to be <{><[>a</[> head eh <,> oh except
      <.>its</.> GOVernors have to be heads

  <WSC#DPC009:1345:KL>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC009:1350:DM>
      GOVernors

  <WSC#DPC009:1355:SG>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC009:1360:TC>
      oh okay <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:1365:SG>
      <.>but</.> <,> <.>but</.> but c command is <latch>

  <WSC#DPC009:1370:DM>
      no c command <?>isn't</?>

  <WSC#DPC009:1375:SG>
      so yeah <.>i</.> in a sense you can say that on <.>laca</.> on
      local radio does um does c command announcement <,> okay as a
      prepositional phrase <,,> okay it's not directional <,,>

  <WSC#DPC009:1380:XX>
      <drawls>oh</drawls> <,,><&>5</&>

  <WSC#DPC009:1385:DM>
      so on local radio m commands the <,,> but not c command

  <WSC#DPC009:1390:SG>
      well <.>if</.> if you're talking about prepositional phrase and
      prepositional phrase <,> um <,> does c command announcement

  <WSC#DPC009:1395:DM>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC009:1400:SG>
      but yeah the <.>co</.> individual constituents don't
      <&>20:00</&> <,> well they don't do either

  <WSC#DPC009:1405:DM>
      no i was talking about in relation to THE

  <WSC#DPC009:1410:SG>
      oh to THE sorry <,,> yeah

  <WSC#DPC009:1415:DM>
      <?>now</?> it's all right

  <WSC#DPC009:1420:XX>
      so it would be m commands right

  <WSC#DPC009:1425:DM>
      yeah yep

  <WSC#DPC009:1430:SG>
      and all those constituents also m command THE too <,> <softly>it's
      not just that the</softly>

  <WSC#DPC009:1435:DM>
      <?>not</?> c command

  <WSC#DPC009:1440:SG>
      yeah but not c command

  <WSC#DPC009:1445:DM>
      meanwhile so government government <{><[>a governs</[> m
      commands b <,> no barrier intervenes

  <WSC#DPC009:1450:XX>
      <[>so the governs</[></{> <,,>

  <WSC#DPC009:1455:SG>
      <.>maximal</.> the fact that maximal projections are barriers to
      government is IMplied by the use of m command there isn't it
      <,,><&>3</&>

  <WSC#DPC009:1460:XX>
      yeah <,,><&>3</&>
