- We can see from (34) that Determiners are sisters of N-bar and daughters of
N-double-bar; Adjuncts' are both sisters and daughters of N-bar; and Comple-
ments are sisters of N and daughters of N-bar. This means that '''Adjuncts''' re-
semble Complements in that both are daughters of N-bar; but they differ from
Complements in that '''Adjuncts''' are sisters of N-bar, whereas Complements are
sisters of N. Likewise, it means that '''Adjuncts''' resemble Determiners in that
both are sisters of N-bar, but they differ from Determiners in that ' Adjuncts
are daughters of N-bar, whereas Determiners are daughters of N-double-bar.
