Homework on §2.1—assigned Mon 9/8 and due Wed 9/10

(i) Analyze the following sentence as far as possible using conjunction. Remember that the final unanalyzed components should be complete sentences without pronominal cross-references from one to another, and try to capture any grouping in the English:

Oliver mortally wounded the dragon, but it fell on him and crushed him.

(ii) Synthesize a sentence with the following form using the intensional interpretation given after it, making the result as idiomatic as possible:

A ∧ B
A: Ann heard the crash; B: Bill heard the crash
