Question 1: Consider example in (7) of section, which shows the order of Ns and Dets in the language Malay. Suppose that buku-buku 'books' is of category N, ini 'these' is of category Det, and the whole phrase buku-buku ini 'these books' is of category NP. Write a phrase structure rule that allows the construction of NPs out of determiners and nouns in Malay and that reflects their relative order. Then draw a phrase structure tree for the phrase buku-buku ini 'these books'.

Question 2: Consider example (9) in Section, which shows the order of NPs and prepositions in Japanese PPs. Write a lexical entry for each word in the Japanese phrase in that example. Then write a phrase structure rule that allows the construction of PPs out of prepositions and NPs in Japanese. Finally, construct a phrase structure tree for the Japanese phrase kono kodomo to 'with this child'.
