Sticky Note
Consider this absolute mechanical reality: "That that that that that speaker utilized is grammatically distinct from that that that that that writer parsed is a truth that that that that that teacher demonstrated." If each distinct iteration of the word "that" in the second sequence ("that that that that that writer parsed") is assigned an ordinal structural value based on its part of speech—where Relative Pronoun = 1, Demonstrative Pronoun = 2, Conjunction = 3, and Noun/Adjective modifier = 4—what is the precise mathematical sum of the values of the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th "that" in that specific 5-word sequence?

Explanation

Let's break down the second sequence:

"that that writer parsed"

We need the part of speech for each of the 5 "that"s, using:

Relative Pronoun = 1, Demonstrative Pronoun = 2, Conjunction = 3, Noun/Adjective modifier = 4

The full sentence frame is: "that writer parsed"

This is a classic multiple-"that" sentence. Parse it like: "that that writer parsed"[X]

1. 1st "that": Demonstrative Pronoun = "that " → 2

2. 2nd "that": Relative Pronoun introducing "that ___ writer parsed" → "that writer parsed" → 1

3. 3rd "that": Demonstrative Adjective modifying "writer" → "that writer" → 4

4. 4th "that": Conjunction introducing the clause "that writer parsed" → 3

5. 5th "that": Relative Pronoun, object of "parsed" → "that writer parsed" → 1[thing][the][which]

So the sequence values are:[2][1][4][3]

Now sum the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th:

2nd = 1

3rd = 4

5th = 1

Sum = 1 + 4 + 1 = 6
