this analysis states that the category is determined by syntax or context. a root word is inserted into the syntax as bare and the surrounding syntax determines if it will behave as a verb or a noun. once the environment has determined its category, morphological inflections also surface on the root according to the determined category. typically, if the element before it is a determiner, the word will surface as a noun, and if the element before it is a tense element, the root word will surface as a verb. the example in the photo shows an example from italian. the root of the word is "cammin-" ("walk"). this word could surface as either a noun or verb. the first tree shows that when the element before is a d ""una"", the root will be an n and the following morphology will inflect "-ata" which is the correct full orthography for the noun "walk" in italian. the tree on the right shows a similar process but in the environment where the root follows a tense element, and the morphology inflects "-o" as a suffix, which makes the verb surface not only as a verb, but as discussed before in person agreement, also shows that this is the first person present form of the verb ("i walk").
