NOTE:
The table shows we can take the four words; John, eat, poached, and eggs, and by
arranging them in different grammatical structure we get a range of different
meanings.
One part of what these sentences mean is the words that are used (that we’re talking
about eggs and NOT books, John and NOT the dog, eating and NOT running).
But a second part of their meanings is the arrangement of these words in
STRUCTURES.
