Define the term “profile determinant”. What is it from the point of Cognitive Grammar? What are conceptually autonomous and conceptually dependent elements? Give an explanation. 

Task 2

Task 3
What are the constituents of the following sentence parts? Label the constituents (as NP, PP) and identify the profile determinant (things vs. relation). Work out what are dependent and autonomous elements.
