Type of usage in these examples (accuracy)?
A woman files for divorce from husband for cheating.
Do these form complete sentences with a predicate? (Does it not require her husband) Or is her just a determiner that can be omitted.
David Earl Miller's path to Tennessee's electric chair.
(How would you describe this?) I assume it's a title but where does it stand grammatically outside of it's context. Just a phrase with a subject ?
Some titles stand-alone, but the way it's written feels like it want to continue along?
