So can I use you guys? I want to poll some people on the grammaticality of some sentences (because opinions differ, and because when you start working on assignment you end up a little turned around and lose your sense of what is grammatical). Two things to get out of the way: - 'grammaticality' is just whether you would say the utterance. - punctuation doesn't matter for the purpose of these sentences, so ignore that. Some sample sentences for you to judge: (3) I believe [that the idea [that pigs can fly] seems reasonable]. (4) [that a guy likes bikes] makes sense. (5) I don't know [if billy ate the cat]. (6) The boy [who left home] came back. (7) [That the boy [who left home]] came back] was fortunate. (8) [That [that he went home] is a fact] won't change anything. (the brackets just denote CPs and RCs, disregard them) As thanks, I'll show you this pretty picture: [img]http://oi58.tinypic.com/2n07om9.jpg[/img]
