Using the MWE below:
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tikz-qtree}
\usepackage{tikz-qtree-compat}
\usepackage{ textcomp }
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\Tree [
.TP [
.T' \node(C){T+verb}; [
.vP \qroof{`ana}.DP [
.v' \node(B){v+{\textlangle}verb{\textrangle}}; [
.VP [
.V' \node(A){V+{\textlangle}verb{\textrangle}}; \qroof{taalib}.DP
]
]
]
]
]
]
\draw [semithick,->] (A) to[out=270,in=180] (B);
\draw [semithick,->] (B) to[out=270,in=180] (C);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
I get output like this:
The tree would look a lot better and I think be more intuitionally correct if the endpoint of the arrow from "V+" and the starting point of the arrow from "v+" were in the same place, perhaps with a small black dot to connect them. That would better show that the same verb is doing both movements. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
\draw [semithick,->] (A) to[out=270,in=-150] (B.-150);\draw [semithick,->] (B.-150) to[out=-150,in=180] (C);
