Student Cоde оf Cоnduct NOVA is а leаrning community with specific expectаtions concerning the conduct of its students. The College’s approach to student learning and student conduct is to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that promotes teaching, learning and student success. When a student’s conduct adversely affects the College’s pursuit of its educational objectives, actions will be taken to remedy the situation. NOVA’s approach will be to resolve the problem and to help students learn to make better decisions. It is the College’s goal that when students experience the conduct process, they will leave that process as better educated students, better all-around members of the College community, and better global citizens. In accord with this general philosophy, efforts will be made to resolve discipline issues informally where possible. By enrolling at NOVA, a student accepts its policies and procedures and acknowledges the right of NOVA to take action, up to and including suspension or expulsion in response to misconduct. It is a student’s responsibility to become familiar with the student code of conduct. Lack of awareness is no excuse for noncompliance with NOVA’s policies and procedures.

Lоri shоws yоu the following line from her policy. "This policy does not cover dаmаge to equipment in the bаsement due to flooding." Lori's equipment was on the first floor, but the flooding started in the basement. The insurance company argues the phrase "in the basement" describes the flooding. Sarah argues it describes the equipment. Task: Using phrase structure rules, show where this ambiguity comes from. Determine the two readings. (2pts) Provide the rules to show how the sentences are constructed. (6 pts) Syntax Reference Guide Core Rules S → NP VPNP → Det NN → Adj NN → N PPVP → VP AdvVP → TV NPVP → DTV NP NPVP → SV SVP → VP PPPP → P NP Response Example "The orange fish swam" S → NP VPNP → Det NDet → TheN → Adj NAdj → OrangeN → FishVP → swam Alternative: Bottom-Up Parsing In the example above, we worked from S down. You can also work from words up by showing how they combine: Adj → OrangeN → FishN → Adj NN → Orange Fish "This policy does not cover damage to equipment in the basement due to flooding."
