We let [ sc Halloween take over] VP
Then, we may have heard [sc bats scream] VP
[sc Bats in the neighbourhood] is never any fun. PP
[With [ sc everyone completely petrified]] we cancelled our party. AP
The witch made [sc the pumpkin lord of the night] NP
Provide two empirical (i.e. data oriented, not theoretical – so, English sentences)
arguments for or against the view that SCs have a T(ense) category. Your tests should
be clearly explained and should cover all the data (i.e. you need 10 Ss here).
Hints: You might want to think about what lexical items can be a T category in
English, as well as what the overall category of the small clause has to be given its
role in the sentence.

AnonymousProvide two empirical ...It sounds like you want help doing your assignment.
Are the five sentences supposed to be part of the ten you need? If so, you need five more because the instructions say you need ten all together. You'll need to come up with those.
Have you determined yet what lexical items can be a T category in English?
