IC analysis help
I need help with "that game you played yesterday".
If I'm not mistaken, this is a NP. I am confused as to where to make the first cut. Would it be between "game" and "you "or "played" and "yesterday"? "Yesterday" is an adverbial modifier but from what I can see, it's part of a larger unit. In this case, a relative clause.
