in biking mode.

What are we here for?

Yes, I know.

I forgot.

Smartphone connected.

Okay, more with Can you hear us.

Yes.

Let me see.

Can you still hear me.

Yes.

Good.

So,

Then we should be in business.

So,

I would like to, as always, have a,

have a theory meeting today.

I'd like to start with a new fragment

with new data

and develop a theory that we can kind of mix in with the other stuff we have.

We have new things like Ethel howled and screamed.

The important thing here being that really very similar to Ethel howled.

But now, the thing that Ethel does is howl and scream.

So, we're basically coordinating, say, the and here is somewhat different

from the way of coordinating the sentences that we had before.

Here it's coordinating two birds.

The cat.

The same thing kind of works with things

that involve transitive verbs as well.

The same thing with the things that they carry their direct objects with them.

Fiona like Joe and Lowe's

Ethel and tolerated prudence.

The same thing with more coordination.

Fiona kicked the cat and laughed.

Using and to coordinate something like this involving a transitive verb with an object and laugh.

The other way around.

So, that's kind of a whole set of things that we need to get right.

And then there's a whole set of things about negation.

Bertie didn't laugh.

Bertie didn't laugh and didn't scream.

There we have negation and coordination.

Didn't laugh or scream.

Didn't laugh or kick the dog.

If you're not stars in front of an example,

always mean it's a counter example.

Bertie didn't laugh is not okay.

Any questions about the data?

Yes, that's what the star means.

Everything above without the stars, that's kind of linguistic tradition,

but the star means non-English example here.

So, yes, that validates what I have on the slide.
