Yep, this is what my day has been like today. And not a bad tree diagram, if I may say so. My current class has had me working on Arabic like this for the last six weeks. It can get tiring, but I like this stuff. Can't help it. And I remind you all (as I remind myself) that this is not pointless. Analyzing a language well improves the quality of any translation of texts into that language. Wouldn't it be something exciting to be a part of quality translation? I'm hopeful.
