Period Expansions: Assignments

Analyze the phrase structures of the following works (be sure to use letters to indicate phrases), with a goal of determining the following:

  • Is this a period with expansion? If there are expansions, what are their nature? Is the expansion before, within, or at the end of one of the phrases making up the period?

  • Is this a period with repeated phrases? Which phrases are repeated?

  • Is this a phrase group? If it is, how many phrases are there? Are there any expansions?

  • Is this a double period? If it is, why isn't it a period with repetitions, or a phrase group?
