DescriptionWeek Three – Parts Of Speech ExerciseFor each numbered word below, decide how it is functioning in the sentence by choosing its correct part of speech. Write only the abbreviation rather than the full term! Chapter Two of Syntax: A Generative Grammar discusses each of the categories and includes their abbreviations: N- NounV- VerbAdj- AdjectiveAdv- AdverbConj- ConjunctionP- PrepositionD- DeterminerC- ComplementizerT- TenseNeg- Negation The propriety of introducing the university slang will be readily admitted; it is not less curious 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 than that of the Old Bailey, and is less generally understood.

Sentence Tree Diagramming
Draw phrase structure trees for each of the following sentences, indicating each of the categories on the tree (phrase (e.g., NP) and word level (e.g., N)). Use the rules given in the “Ideas, Rules, and Constraints Introduced in this Chapter” section of Chapter Three of Syntax: A Generative Introduction. Be careful that items that modify one another are part of the same constituent. Treat words like can, should, might, was, as instances of the category T (tense).

Interdisciplinary Application of Generative Grammar
In Week Three, we examined how the concept of the mental lexicon is studied in the field of psycholinguistics. In fact, the theories of syntax and generative grammar have also been applied to other fields of study as well, organization and management being one of them. Read “Allocation of Rights and the Organization of Transactions: Elements of a Generative Approach to Organizing.” According to Leblebici, how can the theory of generative grammar that we have been studying help to understand the organization of economic systems and the relationship between owners and managers? What assumptions or biases does the author have in his argument? Do you agree with the Leblebici’s ideas? Why or why not? How can this argument be applied in the real world?
Pedagogical Application of Grammar
Up to this point, this class has been concerned with understanding syntax and generative grammar from a theoretical point of view. This week, however, we are looking at possible applications of these theories, and the classroom is one of them. How do you think you might be able to incorporate your knowledge of generative grammar and syntactic theory into teaching? Do you think the theory of generative grammar has a place in the classroom at all?
Security in System Design
What are some of the advantages of incorporating security measures into the design and implementation of information systems? What obstacles might be encountered?
Common Law
Common law has evolved in a written sense through the passing down of cases and rulings by courts on specific issues. That creates a fair amount of uncertainty as the person with the next case does not necessarily know how the matter will be fully resolved. Do you believe that common law is effective in resolving disputes among private citizens? Why or why not?
Federal Preemption versus State Action
should states have power to legislate? What is federal preemption?what does “state action” mean?
Drug Law Strategies
Drug courts are supervised judicial entities that specifically deal with nonviolent drug offenses. The purpose of these courts is to accommodate recovery and restoration of the offenders to make them productive members of society.

Case Study: Suicide
According to the text, there are nearly 815,000 suicides in a year in the world. The truth of the matter is that this number is probably much higher due to underreported instances of intentional death. As a result of technology, a new trend in suicide is death due to “cyberbullying.” In this case study, you will review suicide as a result of cyberbullying.
Read the article titled “Police file raises questions about bullying in Rebecca Sedwick’s suicide”, located at http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/18/living/rebecca-sedwick-bullying-suicide-follow-parents/. Next, view the legality of cyberbullying located at http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/cyber-bullying.html
Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:
Examine three (3) elements of cyberbullying and then determine whether or not defendants, Katlyn Roman and Guadalupe Shaw should be charged with a cyberbullying crime. Provide a rationale to support your position.
Based on what you learned about the relationship between suicide and depression from the text, support or refute the following statement: “People who die by suicide are usually experiencing undiagnosed depression”. Support your opinion.
Analyze the significance of why suicide is becoming a more prevalent area of interest due to the wide-use of social media. Next, debate whether or not suicide will remain a focal point or receive the notoriety necessary for agencies to continue working to get support for individuals who are considering suicide. Provide a rationale to support your response.
The text states that suicide rates vary around the world. Based on the text, propose two (2) possible causes for the differences around the world. Next, give your opinion as to whether suicide should be considered a deviant behavior. Justify your response.
