\begin_layout Title
Writing linguistic papers
\end_layout

\begin_layout Author

\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Linguistic structure trees
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Here is a simple example:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Flex Structure Tree
status open

\begin_layout Plain Layout
[VP [DP[John]] [V' [V[sent]] [DP[Mary]] [DP[D[a]][NP[letter]]] ] ]
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\noindent
If you view the PDF output, you will see that the input
\end_layout

\begin_layout Quote

\family typewriter
\size small
[VP [DP[John]] [V' [V[sent]] [DP[Mary]] [DP[D[a]][NP[letter]]]]]
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
expands to a real structure tree.
 To view the result within the work area, you can simply embed the Structure
 Tree inset into a Preview inset.
 If instant preview is correctly installed and activated, you should see
 the tree immediately (just click on the image in order to edit):
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Preview

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Flex Structure Tree
status open

\begin_layout Plain Layout
[VP [DP[Mary]] [V' [V[sent]] [DP[John]] [DP[D[a]][NP[response]]] ] ]
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\noindent
Roofs can be easily generated by means of the 
\family typewriter
roof
\family default
 option (note that the comma has special meaning, as it marks options):
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Flex Structure Tree
status open

\begin_layout Plain Layout
[VP [DP[John]] [V' [V[sent]] [DP[Mary]] [DP[another letter, roof]] ] ]
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\noindent
In order to align nodes of the tree more elegantly, use the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

tier
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 option.
 All nodes which have the same 
\family typewriter
tier
\family default
 allocated get aligned.
 Here is an example:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Flex Structure Tree
status open

\begin_layout Plain Layout
[VP [DP[John,tier=word]] [V' [V[sent,tier=word]] [DP[Mary,tier=word]] [DP[D[a,ti
er=word]][NP[letter,tier=word]]] ] ]
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\noindent
The package supports many additional features, such as movement arrows and
 decorations, that cannot documented here.
