For relative clause trees, the following naming conventions have been
adopted: if the wh-moved NP is overt, it is not explicitly
represented. Instead the index of the site of movement
(0 for subject, 1 for object, 2 for indirect object) is appended to the
N. So N0nx0Vnx1 is a subject
extraction relative clause with NPw substitution
and N1nx0Vnx1 is an object extraction
relative clause. If the wh-moved NP is covert and Comp substitutes
in, the Comp node is represented by c in the tree name and the
index of the extraction site follows c. Thus
Nc0nx0Vnx1 is a subject extraction
relative clause with Comp substitution. Adjunct trees are similar, except
that since the extracted material is not co-indexed to a trace, no index
is specified (cf. Npxnx0Vnx1, which is an adjunct relative clause with
PP pied-piping, and Ncnx0Vnx1, which is an adjunct relative clause
with Comp substitution). Cases of pied-piping, in which the pied-piped
material is part of the anchor have the anchor capitalized or spelled-out
(cf. Nbynx0nx1Vbynx0 which is a relative clause with by-phrase
pied-piping and NPw substitution.).
