Abstract
Subjects were requested to judge the degrees of syntactic relation for all pairs of words from a sentence. If it is hypothesized that the judgments are determined mainly by the deep phrase structure of the sentence, it is possible to map the relatedness data on comprehensive tree graphs. Various examples are given.
