    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_(linguistics)

    A major sentence is a regular sentence; it has a subject and a predicate, e.g. "I have a ball." In this sentence, one can change the persons, e.g. "We have a ball." However, a minor sentence is an irregular type of sentence that does not contain a main clause, e.g. "Mary!", "Precisely so.", "Next Tuesday evening after it gets dark."

    A sentence consisting of at least one dependent clause and at least two independent clauses may be called a complex-compound sentence or compound-complex sentence. Sentence 1 is an example of a simple sentence. Sentence 2 is compound because "so" is considered a coordinating conjunction in English, and sentence 3 is complex.

  4. Proton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton

    The proton is a "bare charge" with only about 1/64,000 of the radius of a hydrogen atom, and so is extremely reactive chemically. The free proton, thus, has an extremely short lifetime in chemical systems such as liquids and it reacts immediately with the electron cloud of any available molecule.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydron_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, the hydron, informally called proton, [2] is the cationic form of atomic hydrogen, represented with the symbol H +The general term "hydron", endorsed by IUPAC, encompasses cations of hydrogen regardless of isotope: thus it refers collectively to protons (1 H +) for the protium isotope, deuterons (2 H + or D +) for the deuterium isotope, and tritons (3 H + or T +) for the tritium ...

    By a "grammatical" sentence Chomsky means a sentence that is intuitively "acceptable to a native speaker". [9] It is a sentence pronounced with a "normal sentence intonation". It is also "recall[ed] much more quickly" and "learn[ed] much more easily". [61] Chomsky then analyzes further about the basis of "grammaticality."

    This change in both the pH and electrochemical potential gradient between the inside of the cell and the outside produces a proton-motive force, as the protons will want to naturally flow back into the area of low concentration and with a voltage closer to zero from their current situation of being in an area of high concentration of positively ...

  9. Immediate constituent analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediate_constituent_analysis

    However, because phrase structure trees and structurally simpler trees are always able to derive one another from each other and are both still used today, ICA is still relevant in many contemporary theories. An important aspect of ICA in phrase structure grammars is that each individual word is a constituent by definition.
