Little paragraph
Hello, there
I have two questions about this little paragraph:

“The theoretical framework presented in this paper gives me the instructions to come up with the description which is intended in this work, as it is possible to infer, from the structural mechanisms (here) EXPLAINED, that the prepositions ANALYZED do not seem to be EITHER an entirely functional category, as those who assign case are, OR an entirely semantic category.”

Should I place “explained” and “analyzed” before or after their respective noun phrases, “structural mechanisms” and “prepositions”?
And should I keep or omit the “either” before “an entirely...”? or should I use "neither...nor" instead?

Thank you very much!!

Answer

“Explained” and “analyzed” can go either before or after the noun phrases; I think it sounds a little better the way you have it.  “Either” is optional, but helps aid clarity.   Note:  “who assign” should be “that assign.”  “Who” is just used for people, not things.

Answer

"The theoretical framework presented in this paper provides guidelines to define the objective of this work. It is possible to infer from the structural mechanisms explained here that the prepositions analyzed cannot be categorized as entirely functional, nor entirely semantic."

I attempted to rewrite this to see what my own answer would be:

1) Keep the two verb (ish) forms in their places.
2) I used categorized as a verb (and simply used 'nor'). My reasoning was to keep your conclusion (rather, your judgement of the prepositions) solid, and avoid hedging your opinion.

In any case, I would omit 'either'.
