Hello, I am Ricko Tendean from Indonesia.

In the first Sentence, you have explained the Category of the Sentence.

Perhaps (Adverb Phrase)
you (Noun Phrase - Noun - Pronoun)
will (Auxiliary)
never (Adverb)
find (Verb)
a job (Noun Phrase) a (determiner-article) job (head Noun)
as a linguist (Prepositional Phrase) as (preposition), a linguist (Complement - Noun Phrase), a (determiner-article) linguist (head Noun).

The function of "perhaps" is Adverbial and "you" is Subject,

Why did not you mention "will never find a job as a linguist" as Predicate ? While a Sentence consists of Subject, Predicate and Adverbial.

In my analysis, the function of "will never find a job as a linguist" is Predicate. Which divide into Predicator and Complement.

"will never find" as Predicator and "a job as a linguist" as Direct Object (Complement).

My theory is based on English Syntactic Structures by Flor Aarts and Jan Aarts (1982).

[nadeemali-eool]

Sir is there any application to get syntax of any sentence ?
if there is any application kindly guide me about that.

[sandradelavegafdez-lascoit]

It surprised that you came. How will you analyse the sentence. Thank you

[emreseferi]

I have a question: What kind of objects (direct/ indirect) are these in your chosen sentences?

[visiop]

Viely gut sentence analysis, useful indeed. Danke.

[emiliamariaturnescu]

Do you have any video on parsing sentences of the subordinate type ?

[wejmluva]

I am not sure, if I understand the object complement well. Could the word "first" be characterized as an object complement in the following sentence? "The owners wait to get into the place, with the growing conviction that the madhouse will claim them first."

[kinemonsvik]

Can someone PLEASE help me with this sentence? "The borrowing of phonological features has been attested in many cases of intense contact"

[ojoabiodunsaiki]

Pls assist me to analyse the sentence below
Notable elder statesmen and socio-cultural leaders on Saturday converged, saying the country was long overdue for restructuring while warning the Federal Government that the country was bleeding from bad leadership and poor policies.

[levicruz]

[mebeasensei]
