Last but not least, we need three rules to generate the relevant structures above.
1. N’’ → (D) N’ [Determiner Rule]
2. N’ → [+NP] N’ [Attribute Rule: optional]
3. N’ → (NP) N [NP Complement Rule]
Each structure of (i), (ii), and (iii) can be generated by following the order respectively.
(i) Determiner rule → Complement rule
(ii) Determiner rule → Attribute rule → Complement rule
(iii) Determiner rule → Attribute rule → Attribute rule

본문내용
It seems plausible to assume that the source of the ambiguity of [an old French student] is structural in nature, and that part of the ambiguity relates to the fact that ‘old’ and ‘French’ has two different categorical functions above. We can support this analysis with empirical evidences according to syntactic, semantic, and phonological views.
1. Syntactic analysis
As you can see, [an old French student] have three tree diagram above. ‘old’ and ’French’ have different functions in each case. Firstly, in the (i) case, ‘old French’ is a Complement of ‘student’ as the prenominal NP, and hence it is attached with the Head Noun and generate N-bar. As ‘French’ serves as a Noun so can be modified by an Adjective. And then looking at the (ii) case, ‘French’ is a Complement of the Head Noun, whereas ‘old’ is an attribute. We should expect the prenominal NP is a sister of N and daughter of N’, but the prenominal AP, (i.g Attribute), is a sister and daughter of N’. In the last case, we can realize that both ‘old’ and ‘French’ are prenominal APs as attributes
