Hello,

I am currently studying for a placement test i Japanese, which happens to include linguistics. The thing is that in one of my papers there's a sentence for which I have no diagram. So I was thinking that maybe someone on this forum who is acquainted with linguistics could help me write the correct tree diagram for this sentence:

太郎 は  花子 が  おもしろい  本  を 買った  と  思って  いる。

I'll include my guess here (sorry about the bad writing!):

Also, I would appreciate it if someone could point me to a webpage which has example tree diagrams with complementizers and relative clauses. Or maybe PM me a mailadress to someone who can shed some light on this issue for me.

Thank you!

John
