Don't do that to yourself
If you want a simple way to generate trees, I recommend this web application. (help page)

vijayjohn wrote:It sounds like what you're looking for is distributive pronouns and adjectives, and a better example for the distributive meaning you're trying to express (as I understand it) might be John's cats and Karl's cats. You actually just used a distributive pronoun, each, and it is possible to use it for the sake of disambiguation in English, e.g. the cats that belong to each of John and Karl.

I still enjoy studying syntax, but it's far from where all the action is. Who knew I would end up following the empiricist path

But you're going to do more than just research or gathering empirical data. You're going to work on social application of the data you gather, which to me is more than an empiricist path.

vijayjohn wrote:That is basically just how terminology works. People who work on minority languages in Russia don't tend to be the same people working on indigenous languages of Australia, etc., so different traditions exist for naming linguistic phenomena that aren't super-common across languages.
vijayjohn wrote:This reminds me of how if you wanted to say what would you do if you had a million dollars? in Romance languages vs. German, the equivalent of would you do would(!) be in the conditional mood in Romance languages but in the subjunctive mood in German. (My understanding is that this is because subjunctive means something very different in the context of the Romance languages).
