noun
Morphological type: compound
Topics: nautical

Etymology: From jury (“for temporary use, makeshift”, adjective) + rig. Likely modelled after jury-mast.
The phrase 'jury-rigged' has been in use since at least 1788. The adjectival use of 'jury', in the sense of makeshift or temporary, has been said to date from at least 1616, when according to the 1933 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, it appeared in John Smith's A Description of New England. It appeared in Smith's more extensive The General History of Virginia, New-England, and the Summer Isles published in 1624.

examples: There is a method for creating the 'Honky-Tonk' effect via tuning. However, there is no agreement about exactly how it should be accomplished.

In the Lost and Found (honky Bach): The beginning of the song, which seems to be played on a tiny toy-piano delivering a piercing honky-tonk sound, surprised everybody and made critics cringe (Pitchfork hated it), although it gives an upbeat feeling to the song which progressively evolves into a bigger and more symphonic sound in the middle, then crashes into a guitar loop (‘the roost’) which serves as a transition for the next song.

examples: So far, we have considered only transitive Verbs which take a single NP Complement. However, there are a subset of transitive Verbs (known as ditransitive Verbs) which can take two NP Complements, as illustrated in (16) below (where the NP Complements are bracketed):
 (16) (a) John gave [Mary] [a present]
 (16) (b) The postman handed [me] [a parcel]
 (16) (c) He showed [her] [his credentials]
 (16) (d) He sent [his mother] [some flowers]
 (16) (e) Never promise [anyone] [anything]
 The relevant subcategorisation frame for Verbs used in this construction will be [— NP NP], indicating that they can take two NP Complements.
The verb gave is sometimes called ditransitive: It can take two nouns following the verb, as in Lana gave the dog a stick. Here, the noun dog is the recipient of gave, and the object or patient of gave is the noun stick. The first post-verbal noun for ditransitive verbs is sometimes called its indirect object.
