  2. Structural linguistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_linguistics

    Syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations provide the structural linguist with a tool for categorization for phonology, morphology and syntax. Take morphology, for example. The signs cat and cats are associated in the mind, producing an abstract paradigm of the word forms of cat. Comparing this with other paradigms of word forms, we can note that ...

  3. Structural semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_semantics

    Examples of approaches within structural semantics are Lexical field theory (1931-1960s), relational semantics (from the 1960s by John Lyons) and componential analysis (from the 1960s by Eugenio Coseriu, Bernard Pottier and Algirdas Greimas). [1] From the 1960s these approaches were incorporated into generative linguistics. [1]

  4. Componential analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Componential_analysis

    Componential analysis is a method typical of structural semantics which analyzes the components of a word's meaning. Thus, it reveals the culturally important features by which speakers of the language distinguish different words in a semantic field or domain (Ottenheimer, 2006, p. 20).

  5. Immediate constituent analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediate_constituent_analysis

    The analysis concludes only when the tree has exhausted every unit. However, Zellig Harris in his structuralist approach also allows for exocentric constructions where the category of the whole constituent is not the same as the category of its individual parts. In other words, the overall structure does not inherit the category of its components.

  6. Structural analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_analysis

    In the context to structural analysis, a structure refers to a body or system of connected parts used to support a load. Important examples related to Civil Engineering include buildings, bridges, and towers; and in other branches of engineering, ship and aircraft frames, tanks, pressure vessels, mechanical systems, and electrical supporting structures are important.

  7. Structural approach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_approach

    Structural approach is an approach in the study of language that emphasizes the examination of language in very detailed manner.This strategy, which is considered a traditional approach, examines language products such as sounds, morphemes, words, sentences, and vocabulary, among others. [1]

  8. Structuralism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structuralism

    Russian functional linguist Roman Jakobson was a pivotal figure in the adaptation of structural analysis to disciplines beyond linguistics, including philosophy, anthropology, and literary theory. Jakobson was a decisive influence on anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss , by whose work the term structuralism first appeared in reference to social ...

  9. Semantic structure analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_structure_analysis

    Semantic structure analysis (or SSA) is a methodology for systematic description of the intended meaning of natural language, developed by the Summer Institute of Linguistics. [1] The name is also used for Eugene Nida 's technique for mapping lexical items from a source language to a receptor language in translation theory.
