Hello everyone,

I have got a quick question.
In Linguistics I need to draw four trees for the following sentence:

red shoes and socks with red dots

Can "with" be seen as a determiner in this context? Or is it rather a preposition?

Thanks everyone. :)
 
Welcome to Using English.
I don't see how "with" could ever be a determiner.
"With red dots" is, together, a prepositional phrase use as a modifier.
 
She was wearing red shoes with socks with red dots. (Now it's a sentence.)
:)
 
It's a preposition there for me.
