This is a sentence Chomsky offers as example of nonsense that still
makes grammatical sense. Someone, in a discussion elsewhere on cognitive
grammar, asserted that at least one of the terms could be parsed more
than one way. I am trying to see how that could be. I think he is
referring to "green," though without the comma one is forced to read it
as part of the noun and not as an adjective, no? Is there more than one
way to parse this sentence?
