Grammar
structure of Noun Phrase
please tell me why the first one is wrong and the following ones are correct
It's from the chapter about the internal structure of NP.
1. *I like the student of physics more than that one of chemistry.
2. I like this student with long hair more than that one with curly hair.
3. I like this student of physics from Cambridge more than that one from Oxford.
Why in sentence one the n' [student] can't be replaced by 'one' in the next part while in two next sentences it is possible. Please help me!!
