The diagram S NP+VP means that <em>a sentence can be rewritten as a noun phrase plus a verb phrase. </em>This is a one of the phrase structure rules by Noam Chomsky (1957). The purpose of these syntactic rules is to break down sentences into their constituent parts (syntactic categories) including both lexical categories and phrasal categories.

S NP+VP reads as follows: A S(sentence) consists of an NP (noun phrase) followed by a VP (verbal phrase).  By following these rules, you are able to construct multiple English sentences yet, as the theory is merely based on the structure and does not consider other factors, it is highly possible to make constructions that are semantically old. For instance, the well-known sentence "colorless green ideas sleep furiously".

This sentence was constructed by Chomsky to show that phrase structure rules are capable of generating syntactically correct but semantically incorrect sentences.

briefly discuss how relationships evolved and how people learn new ways to be intimate with one another
torisob [31]

Relationships have evolved in many ways.

When baby boomers were teenagers, or in their early twenty's, sometimes they'd look in the news paper to find dates, and go out for coffee after talking on the phone. It was customary for men to pay, and be a "gentleman" by opening his dates car door, or pulling their chair out for them.

Now, in the age of millennial's and gen-z, dating is <em>very </em>different. Usually men and women will split the check, or take turns paying. They'll meet on dating apps, or online somehow.

Intimacy has also changed, as men and women are allowed to be more of themselves, than follow societal rules.Men can be more open about their emotions, and how they feel, while women are allowed to be more stoic, and more bold than they would've been even ten years ago.
