Use the data below from Canadian French to answer the questions that follow. In Canadian French, each pair of the following phones is in complementary distribution. [i] and [ɪ] are allophones of one phoneme. [y] and [ʏ] (tense and lax high front round vowels) are allophones of a second phoneme. [o] and [ɔ] are allophones of a third phoneme. [u] and [ʊ] are allophones of a fourth phoneme. [pilʏl] ‘pill’ [fyme] ‘smoke’ [griʃe] ‘to crunch’ [lynɛt] ‘glasses’ [grɪʃ] ‘it crunches’ [frole] ‘to skim’ [pətsi] ‘little (masc.)’ [pɔrt] ‘door’ [pətsɪt] ‘little (fem.)’ [bote] ‘beauty’ [vitɑmɪn] ‘vitamin’ [bɔt] ‘boot’ [sɑly] ‘hi’ [fo] ‘false’ [ʒʏp] ‘skirt’ [tɔrdzy] ‘twisted’ [zero] ‘zero’ [plʏs] ‘more’ [pɔm] ‘apple’ [fɔl] ‘crazy (fem.)’ [lʏn] ‘moon’ [ru] ‘wheel’ [pɪp] ‘pipe’ [rʊt] ‘road’ [grimɑs] ‘grimace’ [suvɑ̃] ‘often’ [fini] ‘finished’ [trupo] ‘herd’ [fɪj] ‘girl’ [sʊp] ‘flexible’ [dzʏr] ‘hard’ [tʊʃ] ‘touch’ [tryke] ‘to fake’ [fu] ‘crazy (masc.)’ [fʊl] ‘(a) crowd’ [trʏk] ‘(a) trick’ Consider the syllable structures of these words. (You will probably find it easiest to see the pattern if you syllabify the words, i.e., mark where the syllable boundaries are.) Complete the sentences below to describe the distribution of the vowel allophones in a way that accounts for all four phonemes. The format of your description doesn’t matter, as long as you get the idea across. [i], [y], [o], and [u] are tense vowels, and [ɪ], [ʏ], [ɔ], and [ʊ] are lax vowels.

More tree-drawing Draw a phrase structure tree for the sentence in italics below. (It’s big and long, but just go step by step, and you’ll figure it out. There will of course be partial credit given.) If your tree can’t fit on a single piece of paper, draw it in parts and indicate clearly how the parts connect. Feel free to turn the paper sideways. Use these PSRs: S → NP VP NP → (Det) N NP → (Det) Adj N NP → NP PP NP → Pro VP → V (NP) (NP) VP → V (NP) (PP) (use this rule for a PP argument, i.e.,  if the sentence is incomplete without the PP) VP → V (NP) (CP) VP → VP PP (use this rule for a PP adjunct, i.e., if deleting the PP leaves a complete sentence) VP → VP Adv VP → V VP  (use this rule for auxiliary verbs) PP → P NP CP → (C) S Upload your tree as a pdf file here if it works; if not, upload it to the “Test 1 trees” assignment in Canvas. (Would is an auxiliary verb.)   Erica told the director that the rest of the talented amateur cast would perform for the critic from the big city.
