Can any linguist help me draw a couple of syntactic trees?

Question

I really have no idea how to do these. Can someone show me how to do these.
The sentences go as follows:
The like new cars and boats.
(They like new cars and all boats)
They like new cars and boats
(They like new cars and new boats)
Harry said his sister has a blue bike with yellow handlebars.
They bought the green tractors and sold them to the neigbors.
The beautiful young wife is loyal to her husband.

The problem is that I don't know exactly how to help you with this because I don't know what level of syntax you are at. Depending on the textbook and the teacher, you will have been taught different ways of doing this, and I'm not sure which way is the way you are supposed to do it.

However, for beginners at drawing trees, here are a couple of tips that might be helpful.
1. First, label each word with its part of speech. Examples are noun, verb, adjective, etc.
2. Combine the words into phrases. If your book/teacher uses phrase-structure rules, use these rules to build the tree. For example, one phrase-structure rule that is often used to make noun phrases is NP->determiner + noun. So if you have a determiner and a noun, you can combine them into a noun phrase.
3. Continue building phrases out of the new phrases you are making until you join the tree at the top. For example, a common phrase-structure rule for the top of the tree is S->NP + VP. So if you have a noun phrase and a verb phrase, you can join them together and call them S.

Again, the rules you are using (or even whether you use rules) will depend on how far you are into this and what book and teacher you have.

This bottom-up way of building trees seems to work pretty well for beginners. After you become more comfortable with drawing trees you may learn to start at the top after a while. Either way the product is the same: a diagram that shows hierarchical relationships between the elements of a sentence.

Happy syntaxing!
