  2. Syntactic bootstrapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_bootstrapping

    For example, under semantic bootstrapping, learning word meanings to understand the difference between physical objects, agents and actions is used to acquire the syntax of a language. [3] However, prosodic bootstrapping also attempts to explain how children acquire the syntax of their language, but through prosodic cues. [4]

  3. Bootstrapping (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(linguistics)

    Pragmatic bootstrapping refers to how pragmatic cues and their use in social context assist in language acquisition, and more specifically, word learning. Pragmatic cues are illustrated both verbally and through nonlinguistic cues. They include hand gestures, eye movement, a speaker's focus of attention, intentionality, and linguistic context.

  4. Semantic bootstrapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_bootstrapping

    Pinker believes that syntactic bootstrapping is more accurately "syntactic cueing of word meaning" and that this use of syntactic knowledge to obtain new semantic knowledge is in no way contradictory to semantic bootstrapping, but is another technique a child may use in later stages of language acquisition. [10]

  5. Syntax–semantics interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SyntaxSemantics_Interface

    In linguistics, the syntaxsemantics interface is the interaction between syntax and semantics. Its study encompasses phenomena that pertain to both syntax and semantics, with the goal of explaining correlations between form and meaning. [ 1 ]

  6. Sentence processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_processing

    A modular view of sentence processing assumes that each factor involved in sentence processing is computed in its own module, which has limited means of communication with the other modules. For example, syntactic analysis creation takes place without input from semantic analysis or context-dependent information, which are processed separately.

  7. Grammatical relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_relation

    The grammatical relations belong to the level of surface syntax, whereas the thematic relations reside on a deeper semantic level. If, however, the correspondences across these levels are acknowledged, then the thematic relations can be seen as providing prototypical thematic traits for defining the grammatical relations.

  8. Prosodic bootstrapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosodic_bootstrapping

    Prosodic bootstrapping (also known as phonological bootstrapping) in linguistics refers to the hypothesis that learners of a primary language (L1) use prosodic features such as pitch, tempo, rhythm, amplitude, and other auditory aspects from the speech signal as a cue to identify other properties of grammar, such as syntactic structure. [1]

  9. Logical form (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_form_(linguistics)

    In generative grammar and related approaches, the logical form (LF) of a linguistic expression is the variant of its syntactic structure which undergoes semantic interpretation. It is distinguished from phonetic form , the structure which corresponds to a sentence's pronunciation.
