<p>utrecht</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''First Sister Principle''' is a generalization formulated in Roeper &amp;amp; Siegel (1978) which says that All [[verbal compound]]s are formed by incorporation of a word in first sister position of the verb (where first sister position means that the non-head of the verbal compound must be a word which can appear immediately after the verb in a corresponding verb phrase). &lt;br /&gt; The FSP is intended to account for (i) the relationship between ''he drives a truck'', ''truck driver'', and ''driver of trucks'', (ii) the difference in well-formedness between ''truck driver'', on the one hand, and *''quick driver'' (next to ''drive a truck quickly''), and *''child driver'' (next to ''a child drives a truck'') on the other. Roeper &amp;amp; Siegel propose that synthetic compounds (e.g. ''truck driver'') are derived from lexical representations which resemble verbal phrases (in our example ''drive a truck'') by means of a number of [[lexical transformation]]s.
