> Where do prepositional phrases and adverbials go?

Prepositional phrases and adverbials have their own places on the
syntactic tree -- of which only one node (syntax) is shown above.

The syntactic tree is a sequencing device which flushes out nouns,
verbs, prepositions, adverbs and all the other parts of speech in
order to generate a sentence that you hear as sounds in your mind.

This design for artificial intelligence will lead to AI robots if
enough people see the design and it is not proven to be in error.

Note that only the CONCEPTS of words exist in the semantic memory,
while the speakable, phonetic words move about in auditory memory.
Grammar works silently, and you hear the results inside your mind.

of a public-domain project to create an AI-based new world order.
