I want to create a dependency diagram such as the following:

So far, I have done this using TikZ:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikz}

usepackage{calc}



begin{document}

defmytext{The man}



newlength{basewidth}

setlength{basewidth}{widthof{mytext}}



begin{tikzpicture}[

    firstnode/.style={

      shape = rectangle,

      inner sep = 2pt,

      anchor=south west,

    }

    ]

    draw[thin] (0,0) -- (basewidth + 2ex,0);

    draw[thin] (0,0) -- (0, 1.5em);

    draw (0,0) node[firstnode,

    minimum width = basewidth] {mytext};

  end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

Which gives me the following output:

How may I complete the diagram (in repeatable, efficient way)?

  Thanks! Yes, but those aren't the kind of diagrams I want. I need this other kind to help my students easily grasp the sentence syntax.

How about this?

usepackage[edges]{forest}

forestset{students/.style={folder,

grow'=0,edge = {semithick},

edge path'={(!u.south-|.south west) |- (.south east)},

anchor=west,l sep=2.5em,s sep=0em}}

usepackage{adjustbox}

begin{document}

begin{tabular}{lll}

begin{adjustbox}{valign=T}

begin{forest}

for tree={students}

[The man

 [big]

 [who lept

  [nimbly]

  [over the wall]

 ]

]

end{forest}end{adjustbox}&

begin{adjustbox}{valign=T}begin{forest}

for tree={students}

[sends 

 [always]

 [to mother

  [his]

 ] 

 [because he loves her

  [truly,xshift=3em]] 

]

end{forest}end{adjustbox}&

begin{adjustbox}{valign=T}begin{forest}

end{forest}

end{adjustbox}

end{tabular}

end{document}

In this update, I added the second tree for illustration and packed all the definitions in a style that you can recycle, and which allows you to make changes globally. The relative vertical alignment is adapted from this nice answer.
