(1d) nick has been singing. 1 this diagram was created using the tree generator at http://mshang. github. com/syntree/ by entering the expression: [ip [np [n" [n nick]]] [i" [i_a has] [vp [v" [v t ] [vp [v" [v been] [vp [v" [v singing]]]]] We can assume that when is a pp here (and therefore has a p head) because it usually replaces a pp (in the morning, after lunch, etc. ). We can assume that where is a pp here (and therefore has p head) because it usually replaces a pp (in the car, on the roof, etc. ) Note that do-support does not apply in subject content questions (*who did see you? would only be acceptable if did was interpreted emphatically).
