Hello, first time poster here. I was wondering if someone more enlightened than me could help diagram this sentence using the phrase marker tree diagram method.
Here is the sentence:
"No speakers have a disadvantage in their fundamental ability to function cognitively and expressively as a result of the variety of the language that they acquire."
From what I understand, it's a complex sentence with "No speakers have a disadvantage in their fundamental ability to function cognitively and expressively" being the independent clause and "as a result of the variety of the language that they acquire" being the dependent/subordinate clause. I am unsure on how to diagram this sentence, however. Any help would be appreciated!
