noun phrases

Question

hey, I am writing an analysis of an interview and wanted to describe the declarative utterance 'do you think the media has changed'. ( stated because interviewee conjugated the verb 'to do' wrong previously).
Can I say it is a noun phrase? Because I don't quite understand what exactly a noun phrase is. :/ or have you got any other ideas?
Thanks!!!

Hi
I'm afraid I am unable to help you with what you have stated.
Here are some examples of noun phrase:
The boy in the garden is my cousin.
They took him to Dan, the eldest member in the family.

Hope this helps.

Anonymous'do you think the media has changed'

This is not declarative; it is interrogative, and should end with a question mark. Incidentally, 'has' should be 'have'; the word 'media' is plural.

Why don't you just refer to it as a question?

no it definately is a declarative, because speaker A first asks 'Does you think the media has changed since you forst got innit?' and speaker B replies questioning 'Does you think the media has changed? DO you think the media has changed.'
and I wanted to describe the last sentence.. thanks in advance!

A sentence can be delarative (as in "You think ...") or interrogative (as in "Do you think ...?, not both.

yes you're right there.
But in thistranscript I am analysing he kind of corrects him, pronouncing this interrogative in a declarative manner.
But I do see your point... Do you know how I could describe this sentence exept for the sentence type though?
