Why is this a constituent?
This is a linguistics question but I thought it related to english so I'm also posting here:
I have the following tree structure, and I don't understand why "of the lane" is a constituent?
The tests I know for constituency are:
Movement/Clefting
Substitution
Question/Answer
I think that clefting works here:
'Twas of the lane that a jogger ran toward the end.
This does sound clunky and antique (the 'twas doesn't help with this), but it is a grammatical sentence.
