Genesis of Two Algebraic Theories of Language
1.1 In the present paper, we present our view of how two algebraic theories of language, formulated and developed at about the same point in linguistic history, came into existence. The theories and their variants we have chosen to this end are, on the one hand, the standard theory of transformational grammar, formulated in the mid-1960’s by Noam Chomsky, and, on the other hand, an early versio...
متن کاملNegation in early L2: a “window” on language genesis
Early second language has been defined as a restricted linguistic system that can offer a “window” on language genesis. In this paper, I model the acquisition of negation by L2 (adult) learners as a sequence of constraint rankings in the framework of Optimality Theory. The rankings shift from pragmatics via conventionalization of negation as a focus operator to syntax. Early language is argued ...
متن کاملBACK TO NATURE OR NURTURE: USING COMPUTER MODELS IN CREOLE GENESIS Key words: Language acquisition, Creole Genesis, Computational Models
“Artificial societies” are constructed to examine L2-based creole development. ‘Virtual’ slaves and slave-owners interact based on socio-historical conditions. Linguistic transmissions and developments are tracked. This study takes no position on whether a theory of ‘imperfect L2 acquisition of the superstrate language’ can be viewed as final truth with respect to creole genesis. However, a Com...

Artists and writers have created books that are explicitly or implicitly linked to the atlas, delving into its history, its epistemological preconditions, and its representational capacity. In this essay, I suggest a...
