Well, this is where, you know, depending on what your... There's different theoretical notions. I'm going to say the simplest thing, dependency grammar. It's like a bunch of people invented this. Tenier was the first French guy back in... I mean, the paper was published in 1959, but he was working on the 30s and stuff.

And it goes back to, you know, philologist Pignini was doing this in ancient India, okay? And so, you know, doing something like this. The simplest thing we can think of is... that there's just connections between the words to make the utterance. And so let's just say I have like two dogs entered a room. Okay, here's a sentence. And so we're connecting two and dogs together.

That's like, there's some dependency between those words to make some bigger meaning. And then we're connecting dogs now to entered, right? And we connect a room somehow to entered. And so I'm going to connect to room and then room back to entered. That's the tree. The root is entered. The thing is like an entering event. That's what we're saying here.

And the subject, which is whatever that dog is, is two dogs, it was. And the connection goes back to dogs, which goes back to, then that goes back to two. I'm just, that's my tree. It starts at entered, goes to dogs, down to two. And on the other side, after the verb, The object, it goes to room, and then that goes back to the determiner or article, whatever you want to call that word.

So there's a bunch of categories of words here we're noticing. So there are verbs. Those are these things that typically mark... They refer to events and states in the world. And there are nouns, which typically refer to people, places, and things is what people say. But they can refer to other more... I think you've heard of events themselves as well. They're marked by...
