Blurb:

The chapter provides an extended look at the way that noun groups act as docking mechanisms for clauses, creating the nested-boxes effect that called embedding.This chapter builds on earlier chapters by combining three familiar ideas: a Word groups have edges and main words.; b Words, word groups, and phrases can sometimes act like nested dolls. You can often take the lid off one, only to encounter another waiting for you right inside the first; c Wh- markers enter into a coreference relationship with an information gap
