  2. Syntactic Structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_Structures

    Syntactic Structures is an important work in linguistics by American linguist Noam Chomsky, originally published in 1957.A short monograph of about a hundred pages, it is recognized as one of the most significant and influential linguistic studies of the 20th century.

  3. Cartographic syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartographic_syntax

    The idea of Cartography is now that such ordering restrictions are hard-wired into the syntactic structures of all languages and that all languages exhibit the same structure. This leads to the assumption of a richly articulated and fixed set of functional projections. This is not only true for adjectives, but also for the structure of whole ...

  4. 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]

  5. Node (linguistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Under the minimalist program, syntactic structures are formed by iterative applications of the syntactic operation Merge, which serves to connect two elements into one. [7] To yield a linguistic expression , lexemes are selected out of the lexicon and make a (non-ordered) set of syntactic objects called a lexical array , and a structure is ...

  6. Merge (linguistics) - Wikipedia

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

    As it is commonly understood, standard Merge adopts three key assumptions about the nature of syntactic structure and the faculty of language: sentence structure is generated bottom-up in the mind of speakers (as opposed to top down or left to right) all syntactic structure is binary branching (as opposed to n-ary branching)

  7. 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.

  8. Aspects of the Theory of Syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspects_of_the_Theory_of...

    The Aspects model or ST differed from Syntactic Structures (1957) in a number of ways. Firstly, the notion of kernel sentences (a class of sentences produced by applying obligatory transformational rules) was abandoned and replaced by the notion of "deep structures", within which negative, interrogative markers, etc. are embedded.

  9. Syntax–semantics interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax–Semantics_Interface

    In this period, the most prominent view of the interface was the Katz-Postal Hypothesis according to which deep structure was the level of syntactic representation which underwent semantic interpretation. This assumption was upended by data involving quantifiers, which showed that syntactic transformations can affect meaning.
