See PPCME/PPCEME guidelines.

Unlike CP-CMP, degree complements, CP-DEG, do not contain a gap. They are parsed as sisters of their licenser's head as seen in the following example from PPCEME:

( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (PRO I))
	  (HVP have)
	  (NP-OB1 (QP (ADVR so)
		      (Q much)
		      (CP-DEG *ICH*-1))
		  (N buisness))
	  (ADVP-LOC (ADV here))
	  (CP-DEG-1 (C y=t=)
		    (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ (PRO I))
			    (VBP hope)
			    (CP-THT (C 0)
				    (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ (PRO$ my) (N Lady))
					    (MD will)
					    (VB excuse)
					    (NP-OB1 (PRO me))
					    (PP (P till)
						(NP (ADJS next) (N post)))))))
	  (. .))
  (ID ALHATTON-E3-H,2,245.45))
