<P> The sentence uses a restrictive clause, so there are no commas, nor is there the word "which," as in, "Buffalo buffalo, which Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo ." This clause is also a reduced relative clause, so the word that, which could appear between the second and third words of the sentence, is omitted . </P> <P> An expanded form of the sentence which preserves the original word order is: "Buffalo bison, that other Buffalo bison bully, also bully Buffalo bison ." </P> <P> Thus, the parsed sentence reads as a claim that bison who are intimidated or bullied by bison are themselves intimidating or bullying bison (at least in the city of Buffalo--implicitly, Buffalo, New York): </P> <Dl> <Dd> <Ol> <Li> Buffalo buffalo (the animals called "buffalo" from the city of Buffalo) (that) Buffalo buffalo buffalo (that the animals from the city bully) buffalo Buffalo buffalo (are bullying these animals from that city). </Li> <Li> (Those) buffalo (es) from Buffalo (that are intimidated by) buffalo (es) from Buffalo intimidate buffalo (es) from Buffalo . </Li> <Li> Bison from Buffalo, New York, who are intimidated by other bison in their community, also happen to intimidate other bison in their community . </Li> <Li> The buffalo from Buffalo who are buffaloed by buffalo from Buffalo, buffalo (verb) other buffalo from Buffalo . </Li> <Li> Buffalo buffalo (main clause subject) (that) Buffalo buffalo (subordinate clause subject) buffalo (subordinate clause verb) buffalo (main clause verb) Buffalo buffalo (main clause direct object). </Li> <Li> (Buffalo from Buffalo) that (buffalo from Buffalo) buffalo, also buffalo (buffalo from Buffalo). </Li> </Ol> </Dd> </Dl>
