Create linguistic diagram (in TikZ?)
I want to create a dependency diagram such as the following:
So far, I have done this using TikZ:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usepackage{calc}
begin{document}
defmytext{The man}
newlength{basewidth}
setlength{basewidth}{widthof{mytext}}
begin{tikzpicture}[
firstnode/.style={
shape = rectangle,
inner sep = 2pt,
anchor=south west,
}
]
draw[thin] (0,0) -- (basewidth + 2ex,0);
draw[thin] (0,0) -- (0, 1.5em);
draw (0,0) node[firstnode,
minimum width = basewidth] {mytext};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
Which gives me the following output:
How may I complete the diagram (in repeatable, efficient way)?

Thanks! Yes, but those aren't the kind of diagrams I want. I need this other kind to help my students easily grasp the sentence syntax.

How about this?
documentclass{article}
usepackage[edges]{forest}
forestset{students/.style={folder,
grow'=0,edge = {semithick},
edge path'={(!u.south-|.south west) |- (.south east)},
anchor=west,l sep=2.5em,s sep=0em}}
usepackage{adjustbox}
begin{document}
begin{tabular}{lll}
begin{adjustbox}{valign=T}
begin{forest}
for tree={students}
[The man
[big]
[who lept
[nimbly]
[over the wall]
]
]
end{forest}end{adjustbox}&
begin{adjustbox}{valign=T}begin{forest}
for tree={students}
[sends
[always]
[to mother
[his]
]
[because he loves her

]
end{forest}end{adjustbox}&
begin{adjustbox}{valign=T}begin{forest}

end{forest}
end{adjustbox}
end{tabular}
end{document}
In this update, I added the second tree for illustration and packed all the definitions in a style that you can recycle, and which allows you to make changes globally. The relative vertical alignment is adapted from this nice answer.
That's great! But is there a way of reducing the vertical space of the nodes?

@p.lugan Of course/ Just adds sep=0em

Perfect. Just a side question: how can I manage to learn to do that by myself? The PGF/TikZ manual is simple overwhelming!

@p.lugan For this you may want to look at theforest
manual first. (I will add an update. The most important thing there, apart fromforest
, will be this post.)
