The book on the desk is mine.
The book on the desk is mine.
When I analyze the sentence, especially the noun phrase The book on the desk, should I say the prepositional phrase on the desk modify the noun phrase The book or the noun book?
What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.
