  2. Transformational grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformational_grammar

    In linguistics, transformational grammar (TG) or transformational-generative grammar (TGG) is part of the theory of generative grammar, especially of natural languages.It considers grammar to be a system of rules that generate exactly those combinations of words that form grammatical sentences in a given language and involves the use of defined operations (called transformations) to produce ...

  3. Conditions on Transformations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditions_on_Transformations

    Conditions on Transformations" is an article on linguistics by Noam Chomsky, published in 1973. [1] In it, Chomsky attempted to formulate constraints on transformational rules used in Transformational Generative Grammar (TGG), a syntactic theory that Chomsky first proposed in the 1950s.

  4. Transformational syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformational_syntax

    In linguistics, transformational syntax is a derivational approach to syntax that developed from the extended standard theory of generative grammar originally proposed by Noam Chomsky in his books Syntactic Structures and Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. [1] It emerged from a need to improve on approaches to grammar in structural linguistics.

    The grammar model discussed in Noam Chomsky's Aspects of the Theory of Syntax (1965) In Aspects , Chomsky summarized his proposed structure of a grammar in the following way: "A grammar contains a syntactic component, a semantic component and a phonological component...The syntactic component consists of a base and a transformational component.

  6. Generative grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_grammar

    Generative grammar began in the late 1950s with the work of Noam Chomsky, having roots in earlier approaches such as structural linguistics. The earliest version of Chomsky's model was called Transformational grammar, with subsequent iterations known as Government and binding theory and the Minimalist program.

  7. Syntactic Structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_Structures

    Based on lecture notes he had prepared for his students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the mid-1950s, [note 2] Syntactic Structures was Chomsky's first book on linguistics and reflected the contemporary developments in early generative grammar. In it, Chomsky introduced his idea of a transformational generative grammar ...

  8. Lexicalist hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicalist_hypothesis

    The lexicalist hypothesis is a hypothesis proposed by Noam Chomsky in which he claims that syntactic transformations only can operate on syntactic constituents. [ambiguous] [jargon] [1] It says that the system of grammar that assembles words is separate and different from the system of grammar that assembles phrases out of words.

  9. Move α - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Move_α

    Move α is a feature of many transformational-generative grammars, first developed in the Revised Extended Standard Theory (REST) by Noam Chomsky in the late 1970s and later part of government and binding theory (GB) in the 1980s and the Minimalist Program of the 1990s.
